My Own Kind Of Travel Sickness

[I found this in my Drafts folder from March 2022. I don't even remember writing it but I decided to hit publish anyway because it hasn't become any less true in the months since.] 

I get travel-sick in the same way that most people get homesick - a pure and fierce yearning to be somewhere other than where you are. I want so desperately to see and hear and smell a place, the storms, the trees, the birds, the waterfalls. I want to be there, outside, rolling around in it. I want it to the point of utter distraction; it invades my thoughts until I'm dreaming about it at night.

This is not an entirely unpleasant sensation. But the insatiable hunger, the all-consuming-ness of it, leaves me feeling a bit... unbalanced.

Be where you are now.
