I needed today.
Life has felt a little heavy lately. There's been some loss in the family, a lot of change, and I have a pretty big week ahead of me. My mind has been going in a hundred different directions, and I knew I needed to get out of my own head for a while.
So I got in the car with Bell Witch Cave as the only real plan and just wandered from there. I took backroads, stopped when something caught my attention, found places I wasn't looking for, and sat with my journal for a while.
I've spent a lot of the last year learning how to sit with myself again and actually enjoy my own company. I don't always need to know exactly where I'm going or have everything figured out.
Sometimes I just need a little quiet, an open road, and enough space to find my way back to myself.
