Why I’m Doing This

Sometimes it’s not about how long you’re away, but the meaning you give to the journey. That’s what makes time relative.

This is not just a trip. This is a life journey, a growing experience. I’m sitting in my first plane, feelings mixed but excitement leading. It’s the first time I travel this far, completely alone. No one’s waiting for me on the other side — and that’s exactly the point.

I want to learn to love myself. I give so much love to the people I care about, but sometimes I forget me. How can I love others if I can’t love myself first? This journey is for me, but also for the ones I love. If I grow, they grow with me.
