    I think it’s at the very least true in the sense they’re both things many people can’t afford

    Poor people are fucking sick of hearing this shit. Especially as an unfortunate resident of the USA. I get no paid vacation whatsoever. I have to pay for my vacations twice; once for the vacation itself and again because I’m not working.

    “Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things – air, sleep, dreams, sea, the sky – all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.”

    —Cesare Pavese

    It really is. Not even a big trip. Anything that changes your perspective is very helpful. Putting everything into context.

    Sorry for all the hate you got on this post.

    Cool. Is this your way of telling me that you’re going to pay for me to go traveling? That would be great, thanks 👍

        I’m not particularly bitter about it, it’s just a fact of life at the moment. What I do take exception to though are people who like to condescendingly suggest that all life’s problems could be solved by just heading to the Caribbean or Europe for a few weeks. If I could afford to just pick up and go wherever whenever I felt like it then most of my issues would already be resolved lol

          And when did anyone do that? I think you are projecting a lot here.

          Youre saying you agree that travelling is a form of therapy but OP posting exaxtly that in YSK is condescending?

    This is something that is not universally true. You would not say something like that if you’ve ever traveled with small children.
