quote: The thing about running away is eventually you have to go back and face whatever made you run away. Time is running out, and soon I’ll be there facing my ghosts, and I don’t know if what I left there will be harder to face because it has acumulated moths, fungi, interests, or maybe just faded away.

None of my problems vanished just because I took a few months off for travel, but I did find that I came home with increased perspective and new thoughts on how to deal with them. Taking a break from dealing with stuff is a great way to refresh your perspective. Plus, you’ll come back feeling so much more confident and capable that it will be much easier to tackle whatever is bothering you.
