Conflict and Clarity

I have been conflicted about the future of this blog for awhile, thus my lack of posting.

Had always wanted to start a travel blog. Always imagined my travel blog as something immediate, something linear, something recorded WHILE traveling rather than after the fact. My goal had been to report travels in real-time, but the more I think about it, I realize, for me, clarity comes after the passage of time. Often when I’m IN a travel situation, the last thing I want to do is separate myself from being present to go write about it. I’m guilty of setting lofty goals and not following through once I see their flaws. Instead of aiming for a different target, I shut down and scrap the idea completely. And that’s ok, I just have to accept that changing direction is fine. Like travel, no creative endeavor should be immutable, and like many of us, I’m learning to be gentler with myself and more flexible.

Let the nonlinear travel memoirs begin.
