Looks from a Handsome Stranger

I kind of wanted to write this down, you know when you travel and notice things around. When his eyes hit yours and the next minute he is gone, did you miss something important, was the connection that strong ?

It is nice to get that look sometimes, and then you look back, and they look at you twice. They are a handsome stranger, and you might stop to think, maybe that was that moment, should I have said something?

And maybe you could have, and maybe you did, maybe they asked you what you are reading.
But he got on that bus, and then he was gone, you might feel a bit hopeless, did you manage to lose something ones more ?

But as you go on you remember the time that you need, And getting these looks, it grows confidence, don`t you think ?

So for now enjoy the looks that you get, believe in your worth, look around you, have you noticed them jet ?

You`re beautifully extraordinary, don`t you ever forget

Are you not lonely ? (and my stay in a small bothy at the Isle of Canna)

Loneliness for me is a common feeling while travelling solo, don't think (when you are following my adventures on social media) that I am immune to it. I like the solitude at times, and it builds a stronger relationship with myself, to do this on my own that is, but I often wish I had found my companion. I keep turning every rock, stair into wells to see a reflection next to me, stay open minded and socialise at home. I wander to all corners of the world, I am on all the apps- talk to locals. I am not shy. But so far he has not been found. I have (in moments of hilarious lighthearted desperation) even tried to go back in time Outlander style, if he is not in 2024, maybe in 1878. Perhaps a man from the Bridgerton era. Times are tough, and there are not plenty of available healthy mature fish in the sea, perhaps an old tire, but fish- well most of them have been caught by now, or they were let back into the sea for a reason. The trash never even made it to shore, people do not want ...

An intuitive journey back to my solo travels

For the past few years I have had a fallback in writing. A lack of inspiration and a feeling that I had already written about "it all", or the things I really wanted to say at least. Perhaps it is the SSRI medication that for the past 4 years have been numbing (in a good way) my anxiety- but also keeping my head away from mind loops, or perhaps I just got to the end of it- let out all the biggest of Roars. But, whatever it is that has made me write less, I will make sure to not stop completely. I do enjoy this too after all, it is not only an outlet for something anxious, it was always supposed to be more than that. Something to lift spirits, bright up days, encourage others to live (or continue too) live their best and most for-filling lives. So, I decided to go through my solo travels, one by one. Because what might not have been obvious through these text through the years (that is- mainly from the summer of 2016 forwards), is that I went on adventures, on my own (mostly)...

Shine on bright (about mistakes, self-doubt, kindness and curiosity)

Live with all your heart, and never feel ashamed for trying every mistake, has a silver lining be grateful for all that you may learn Life is too short to doubt every move, every turn Listen, and never be ashamed of being true Stay curious, humble, and always be you respect yourself and those around you, - thank them for their honesty too Life is meant for living, so never dim your light Pause in your steps, breathe and shine on bright.
