the breadth of human experience is so incomprehensibly vast π€―
(i fully acknowledge that what follows are allowed by privileges not available to everyone, and for those i'm beyond thankful ππ»)
i've been very blessed to meet folks (including here on these feeds) from so many different walks of life and visit places with vastly different cultures and infrastructure from what i grew up around. the world and its peoples are legitimately astonishing
travel gets a bad rap sometimes, but i can't say enough good things about how much it's influenced my own development and understanding of others, and the world at large. i also strongly advise younger people to try living in a few different places for similar reasons
despite all of the problems we have as a species, there really are awesome humans almost everywhere, and there are countless valuable experiences to be sought out. you can't really have your mind properly blown until you step out into some unknown unknowns. highly recommend!
(if you made it this far, thanks for letting me have a moment [lol].. i appreciate you for being here π«Ά)
