Capri Was Perfect. I Was Homesick Anyway

Capri looked like a screensaver, but I spent half my semester abroad missing the mess of home. I’d watch the sun set over the cliffs, then text friends back in the city, pretending I was busy. It’s easy to romanticize escape, but the truth is, you can’t outrun yourself. I learned that between ferry rides and silent dinners, feeling like a tourist in my own skin. Now, seeing what Capri’s going through, I ache for the version of me who thought beauty could fix loneliness. Sometimes, the most beautiful places make you feel the most alone. #Travel #TravelConfessions #HomesickAbroad
