An extract from my travel journal.
I so loved Iceland. I like the way I have to keep my brain working in order to keep safe in places unfamiliar to me from the moment of departure from home until I get back home to the UK. For me I find this a new way of life.
A new way of evaluating my circumstances.
Where as in the past I relied on friends, my partner etc to lead me, make decisions.
I now rely on myself to become that leader.
I have now become that travelling partner to myself. It's one of the stages towards my journey to recovery. I've been mentally ill for such a long time, depression dominates my life.
Travel has somewhat taken away some of my anxieties. Travel is good for the soul. I spent so long caring for my parents. I forgot about me. 😔 I don't regret that choice though.
I would give this life up to have my loving parents with me again.
