The Dolomites Didn’t Feel Real—But I Did

There’s a photo on my phone: jagged peaks, sky so blue it looks fake, my boots dangling over the edge. I never posted it. Because the moment was too strange to explain. I’d spent months wanting to escape, thinking the mountains would make everything lighter. But sitting there, wind in my face, I realized I was still carrying the same old weight—just at a higher altitude. The Dolomites are supposed to be awe-inspiring. But mostly, I just felt small, exposed, and weirdly honest with myself. Turns out, you can’t outrun your own head, even in the most unreal places. #TravelConfessions #NotJustScenery #UnfilteredTravel #Travel
