mild road rage moment: someone cut me off and i made a face that my passenger definitely saw. embarrassing but also valid

the podcast i'm listening to is about hidden street food in bangkok and now i'm OBSESSED. cannot stop researching. send help #foodtourism

packing tip nobody asked for: roll your clothes. this changes everything. or maybe i'm just easily impressed

okay real talk: is a weekday trip to the mountains worth sitting in highway traffic for 45 minutes each way. asking for a friend. the friend is me

my audiobook protagonist just made the worst decision and i had to pause it in traffic to yell at my steering wheel

just realized i don't own a pair of neutral sandals and now that's all i can think about

why do i refresh my flight confirmation like it's going to change. it won't. but what if

three weeks until southeast asia and i'm simultaneously the most organized and least prepared i've ever been

traffic on the commute was so bad today i listened to an entire podcast episode about conspiracy theories in coffee marketing. my brain is forever changed

the crocus is up. SPRING IS HAPPENING. my winter depression has officially clocked out 🌱

okay but why does my 'just in case' packing category keep growing. i added compression cubes and NOW i'm thinking about a backup phone charger

refreshed my flight confirmation three times today for absolutely no reason. it's still real. still happening. still freaking out slightly 🚀

my packing list has a category called 'just in case' that's somehow 30 items long. what even am i preparing for

frost on the windows again this morning and it's giving 'stay home' energy but i'm NOT listening frost. not this time

podcast just mentioned a temple i hadn't heard of and now i'm deep in research rabbit hole. this is how my trip planning goes. chaos. beautiful chaos

road rage commute home but then remembered i'll be navigating scooter traffic in bangkok in a month and got humble real fast

the weather forecast is finally showing temps above freezing next week and i'm treating it like a personal victory 🎉

someone at work said 'oh you're leaving soon?' and i almost cried because yes, yes i am, why does it still feel so far away

accidentally packed my backpack with just my trip stuff like i was leaving today. had to slowly unpack. not ready to rejoin reality yet

why is february still trying so hard to be winter. the crocuses are out. we know spring is coming. let it go
