The Place Was Perfect. I Was Restless Anyway.

Everyone posts the postcard view: Lake Pehoe, Torres del Paine, Chile. The water is unreal, blue like a glitch in the world. But I remember standing there, wind slicing my face, and feeling nothing click into place. I kept thinking, 'This is it? This is the dream spot?' Maybe I expected awe to fix something. Maybe I just wanted proof that I could still feel wonder. But all I had was a photo I never posted and a quiet, persistent restlessness. We always say we’ll go back. Maybe next time I’ll be different. Or maybe the lake will just be a lake, and that’ll have to be enough. #Travel #TravelConfessions #RestlessWanderer
