You Are Sooooo BACK!
You made me smile when reading your post.
Am soooo happy you found positivity in your life again ❤️

And honestly? I felt it. My identity snapped back into place. Hell yeah!

HELL YEAH! Keep that identity. And from time to time, go diabolical, it is allowed, and can also be fun at times. Perhaps it is another part of you, even when it is for a tiny bit. But But But, the positive you, the one who looks forward to fun and interesting times, who likes to travel, explore, go on adventures, keep hanging on that one!

One big lesson learned: never again will I travel on weekends or holidays. Ever.

Hahahaha, good lesson! Xmas holidays is crazy around the world. Go into the bush or something, where nobody goes.

my time on land was not relaxing at all. Dirty old men vacationing with their families gawking at me as I walked back to my room - eww deeply uncomfortable

Resort thingy I suppose. Even a Club Med may go this direction, though it is not for families. Perhaps back to the little cabins on the beach? A nice little guesthouse of some sort? I would indeed stay away from hostels as well.

So no, I’m not a cave dweller after all. This is me getting back out there.

Perrrrrfect! Welcome back! Welcome to this true side of you. I am so happy for you 🙏🎶
