Hitting up the holidays fully in solo travel Mode has amplified the deafening silence during the last few weeks, more so addressed the elephant in the room – that I am on my own now, and that I need to come to terms with this fact, sooner than later. Things are evidently harder recently compared to how they were in the last 2 years (and all the years prior). The art of adapting is indeed hard to master. And I envy these Düsseldorf plane trees for that reason, easily adapts through changing seasons.

But if anything, this has further reaffirmed my independence; proving that I could function, decide, and stand-by & accept the consequences of my choices. I guess being pulled out of a two-year old comfort zone is sad but is also freeing in a lot of ways. So, cheers to moving forward! I wish we all achieve that tabula rasa of sorts that most of us aspire this new year!
