There are times when I feel that I want to be alone; it's not because I'm sick of being with others. It's because I think that I need some alone time to recharge my energy. As an ambivert, I plan to be with everyone whenever I can, but I drain a lot of energy when I do that. To feel energetic again, I need some alone time. Otherwise, people might see the changes in me. It's not that much of a problem, but it's noticeable. Anyone can understand it by talking to me. I don't give off the energetic vibes anymore as I always do.
I do get depressed, and when I do, I don't like being around anyone. I get irritated by small actions, and it is a reflection of low energy. I do not do it intentionally; it just happens with the flow. The last time I went to play pool with my friends, everything was good at first, but somehow, as time passed, I felt dull, and it was because it had been a long time since I had gone anywhere alone.
I really like to travel alone instead of going with someone. I feel that traveling alone helps me realize more about myself, and I get to know myself better. However, as a girl, I can't travel at night, so I always have to travel during the daytime because my parents won't allow it, as they are very protective of me. I like to observe nature by myself. I always try to travel during the daytime and reach a safe place at night, and then go out again during the daytime. That's how I travel, and it makes my parents feel at peace.
I clicked this picture when I was on my Uber ride. This place is in Cox's Bazar. It was fun traveling by bike, and the driver was friendly. I don't usually travel by bike, but it was very low cost, so I wanted to give it a try. The picture got blurry because I'm not good at taking pictures, so yeah.
Ah well, when I travel with my family, it's also enjoyable, but there are some activities that I can't do with them around, and I always have to think about them, so I don't freely enjoy myself as there are some boundaries that I do not dare to cross. That doesn't mean that I don't enjoy traveling with my family; it's just a different experience than when I travel alone. I can understand why my parents are so protective, and I do not blame them, but I can't feel the freedom when I travel with my family.
In my case, I actually love to travel alone, and it's a feeling that can't be described unless you're also a solo traveler; then you can understand why I'm saying this. Anyway, I feel everyone should try solo traveling once in a lifetime so they can feel peace of mind, and trust me, it's refreshing. I don't solo travel often because I've studies and lots of things to do. I can't abandon my responsibilities to travel. I make time for my self after 2-3 months gap and hopefully I can share some pictures in the future.
