Galavanters Respite
For the past two weeks or so I have been ponying it up in the UK. By the sound of it for some it is not exactly a long trip or might not be worth the limited time. 

I think for me it was just perfect, and seeing as it was my first time ever out of my country it was about two weeks longer than I ever thought to have such a trip. 

<img src="https://images.ecency.com/DQmTNCW1rM7HtyCyHUxVQ674w1JXK2Hkbwk3wV8PexQ8Lzd/john_t_odsplaxlkvm_unsplash.jpg"/>

If left to my own devices the only trips I would make are the flushing or burial kind. The only burial kind I like would be my own. 

This trip was solely possible with the kindness and help of others. 

<hr>

This post I don't think is so much about the trip really, as much as I enjoyed it and saw plenty of cool things and definitely am considering that if I do not like my country I should probably just leave. 

No mainly I was just musing how 16 days have passed and although my days in the UK were jam packed with travel and sightseeing, I did not really care to open any apps or do anything in particular aside from whatever I was doing at the time.

Even before that and or now since I am home, I still don't like dealing with social media or anything other than DM or watching videos via the phone. 

It is inconvenient and slow. 

Then I would think ok but if I load things on the laptop then I would want to browse and comment and read things. Not to mention keep up with Hive rewards from Splinterlands, Blogging and maybe see pricing.

Nah. 

It is a hassle at best really. Unless I am in the let me do online shit now mind I really think it is rather easy for me to walk away without a single thought. 

Obviously I was completely in the vacation zone which helped me not even look at my phone for anything but the time, clear all notifications has already become a habit. 

<hr>

I do think though that without the trip I would never have truly realised that it is possible to leave my country, work, home. It sounds stupid because obviously I know it is possible but really it is the numbers. 

If I think about it the amount it cost to have this trip is about as much as I earn in a year. 

Now big numbers like that are very daunting but the small increments are not so much. 

It puts saving up for big numbers into perspective. I have never really saved because I have never had anything to save for. I do not want a car, my rent is month to month overall there is nothing I want which requires me to save money. Almost anything I can do without. 

Travelling and seeing that with a bit of work, there can be a lot more than my room, does help the seed of thinking truly for the future in those terms take root more firmly. 

A person always hears or even has these ideas of yes I should do this for then, but when has then ever even felt real.

First off...I had the BEST time with you and @samsmith1971, @tengolotodo and @olawalium hehehe

I can't believe it was only 2 weeks ago where I was seeing you for the first time after knowing you for ..5?.6? years! hehehe

very wild experience, and one I hope we get to duplicate!!!

I'm so glad that it opened up a whole new world of possibilities for you! I hoped for that!!! sometimes just stepping out of your environment is all it takes to have a brand new perspective on life and the future!!

and now maybe you start making plans for what you might like to see next! hehehe plan for the big trip, break it into savings milestones and go for it Pen!!! 

just make sure to take lots of selfies so I can live vicariously through your travels hehehehe

🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

p.s.

regarding the social media lure (or lack of it hehe) I totally know what you mean.  I've experienced it so many times before

when I'm in the cycle and it's just doing things by rote....you think about how "necessary" it is to your life and routine 

and you hear other people say it too ..and it only takes a sharp break, a twist of fate, a newer, better routine to show you.   wait ....there's more??? 

and then it's very hard to jumpstart back into that "old" way hehehe

funny thing though, it does happen.. you do get sucked back in 

people tend to think of life as a road. where you can pause and consider which route you want to take....

but it's more like a fast paced river.... if you arent padding against the flow to reach some new destination....you'll find yourself at the mercy of the current pulling you back to wherever is the least resistance...


so I hope you keep paddling now that you've gotten yourself out of that whirlpool hehehe

🥰

Glad you had a good trip. It's so nice to disconnect from time to time. I really resonate with how hard it can be to get back into the swing of things. Came here via Dreemport!
