By Myself

February 11, 2024

My life has been significantly impacted in the best way possible since I started doing things by myself. I had been pretty terrified of this concept for a long, long time.

It started with meals alone. Then I started doing cross-state and international IKEA and FB Marketplace roadtrips. Going to theater and concerts by myself. I traveled to Florida for a photo shoot. And right now?

I’m traveling across the country by train.

I’ve never been on a train before. Everything is new. And though my reason for travel is hard, the journey to pass 2800 miles has been a gift.

I’ve had time to catch up on a few things, time to sleep, time to let my mind flow, time to be creative, time to wonder, time to learn new things, and time to take in the incredibly beauty of our country!

I am so grateful for this experience and the people who have helped make it happen. Cheers for living with less fear and more joy!

Also, please prepare yourself for a lot of train posts coming for a while!
