Cat-Ba, Vietnam. • Yet another destination from my Southeast Asia trip, four years ago today. It was just over a month in, and I was beginning to feel very home sick. I was suffocating despite the endless open, gorgeous, views. • I was traveling with my then boyfriend, and we were already struggling. There were good times, but looking back on it now, not enough. Something was too much and something else was missing. • I needed my best friend to talk to about the heaviness, about the pressure. The constant fog in my mind. I needed a comforting hug from my mum, to remind me of who I am and where I come from. I needed home. The security and surety of my four walls. • No matter how much fun I was having, and how great the places I saw were, I couldn’t be preset 100%. Something was pulling, tugging at me. Always nagging at the back of my mind, and I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. • I couldn’t commit, but I also couldn’t leave or stop or say enough. So I fought through it and kept going. But sometimes fighting through isn’t the best course of action. Sometimes it’s the worst thing you can do. Because while some things are worth fighting for, others should be let go and not dragged on. • But despite it all, I was having a great time. How could I not? I was in one of the most beautiful countries in the world. But I would love to go back to correct my experiences, try it out without all the weight pushing me down, and the chains holding me back • • How about you? Any place you would like to go back to and fix your experience of? Any travel moments you regret? • • • • • • #catbavietnam #travelandwrite #travelmemories #travelblogger #blastfromthepast #fouryearsago #fouryearsagotoday #writeandtravel #writeandtravelblog #travelmistakes #travelingwithboyfriend #anxietyawareness #anxietytravel #anxietywhiletraveling #missinghome #homesick #personalexperience #personalblog #draggingiton #cantletgo #holdinback (at Cát Bà, Hải Phòng, Vietnam) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAkQpc7nrgd/?igshid=1uwp905w5anpj
