There has been a lot of negativity on my blog I feel lately. I don't mean to be, sorry. But I hope it highlights that life isn't always pretty.
I recently had some feedback following an unsuccessful job interview. Aside from some specific suggestions, the overall theme of the feedback was that I need to be brave, push my boundaries and get outside of my comfort zone.
So I got to thinking what things I would love to do that scare me! What feeds my soul but the thought of it gets my heart racing!
And top of the list is solo travel.
I'm forever looking at online travel companies. And walking groups. I like hundreds of Instagram pictures and I'm always saving walks that I'd love to do one day. I read a lot about these places.
But I very rarely actually do any of it.
I've recently taken inspiration from my incredibly fabulous friend who is saying yes to scary things, and smashing it btw! So, I've booked myself into a bunkhouse for two nights in the Lake District. On my own. Sharing with 5 other random strangers. In a part of the UK I'm not totally familiar with. I'll be walking alone. Eating alone. Exploring alone. I'll have to talk to people and be friendly. Making friends is not something I've had to do for 20 years and COVID restrictions has definitely made me lazy when spending time with people.
So, am I absolutely crapping myself? Fuck yes!
But I am totally, completely, absolutely excited for it? Also, Fuck Yes!
