The Mountain Wasn't the Hardest Part

Everyone posts the Matterhorn like it’s a trophy. But standing in Zermatt, it’s not the mountain that gets you—it’s the silence. You expect awe, maybe some sense of arrival. Instead, it’s just you, a postcard skyline, and the feeling that you’re still waiting for something to change. I thought climbing higher would make things clearer. But the altitude only made my thoughts louder. No amount of scenery can outpace what you bring with you. Sometimes the view is perfect, and you still feel out of place. That’s the part nobody tells you before you book the ticket. #TravelTruths #NotJustTheViews #AloneTogether #Travel
