can't believe that i'm planning my solo trip to TW!

half filled with trepidation and half with excitement. it's been a struggle to convince myself to do it.. battling with long forgotten fears and anxieties.. pushing myself to work thru them or learn to manage them as i plan this trip.

it's funny to think that people all over the world past and present travel long distances or live away from their family from a very young age and here is a 32 yr old who is worried about travelling to a nice and friendly country that uses a language that she is familiar with. what a sheltered life i've lived.

i've been building.. my confidence.. my independence.. my coping mechanisms to my anxieties..

sometimes i wonder if my anxieties are not my own but was instilled to me since young. i would really love to find out the root cause of it.

maybe i will find my answer during the trip.

i'm anticipating quite a bit of things that would be brought to head in this trip.

*reminder to bring laptop to write them all down..
