@vanessafairyann: Proximity and comfortability will have you overstaying your welcome. 🧚🏾♀️ If I’m being completely honest, this is exactly why I decided to pack my bags and start traveling internationally again. When I was in Detroit, I was incredibly lonely. I always felt like an outcast, but looking back, I realize that discomfort was just God trying to shift me. I had gotten way too comfortable with my proximity, and it was stopping me from pushing for the higher highs that I know I am destined for. I had to step out into the world to break the chains of codependency. I was holding onto things outside of myself and Jesus Christ just to feel secure—whether that was an ex, friendships that had become stagnant and weren’t progressing anywhere, or just the codependency of my environment and old indulgences. I had to strip all of that away. This solo journey isn't just about seeing the world; it’s about healing and elevation. I needed to get to a place where I could completely isolate the noise. #BlackWomenTraveling #TraumaHealing #ThailandSoloTravel #InternationalSoloTraveler #BlackGirlsTravel
