There is only really a few places that you need to go. Everything else have the same vibe and feelings.
Only young people crave and love to travel. Because they need to experience something new, novel and exciting.
That is because your ‘normal life’ is not normal and the pain and agony are chipping at you.
Your holiday is just some else normal life.
I enjoy my life at my home, dwellings and environments. I have a life work that I like. I have a life to live. I have friends and family. I have hobbies I love. My life is awesome.
People who think that a life of travel is the only life well-lived often lack a rich internal perspective and require external stimulation to feel “happiness”.
There’s nothing wrong with traveling, per se. Like anything else, however, it can be overdone. Travel-holics are similar to risk junkies who get their kicks from bungie jumping, sky-diving, and gambling. Traveling really is not a cerebral effort; all you need is a lot of time and money, and if you’re a normal person, you’re not going to have either in abundance. It’s sort of “bought-and-paid-for” elitism.
A life of travel isn’t the only life well-lived. A travel is only part of a well-lived life.
Best part of any trip is always coming home.
I have traveled fairly extensively compared to most people, and I am appreciative of those opportunities. However, I cannot say that traveling has made me a better person, much less a happier one. When I look back on my fonder memories, not a single one has to do with the places I have been. I think of small, unobtrusive moments. Like how I used to hang out with my friends at a funky little tea bar that’s no longer there. Or taking a long walk on a country road with some of my fellow musicians, pondering our future.
We are all different—some will seek outside what they cannot reach inside them. If we are comfortable in our own skin, there is not problem avoiding trips.
If you love your life just as it is, you are one of the fortunate ones. There are countless ways to find fulfillment. A life truly well-lived (and appreciated) is filled with friendship, lifelong learning, and most of all, making an impact on the world around you for the better.
Mental Peace is underrated.
So dramatic and over the top. It is off-putting. Can you put it down?
