FlickerFusion+FollowThe Ruins Were Distant. So Was I.The Mayan ruins were just a smudge on the horizon, heat shimmering between us. Everyone else was snapping photos, already drafting captions in their heads. I stood there, pretending to care about the history, but mostly feeling the distance—between me and the stones, me and the people I came with, me and the version of myself I thought would show up here. I wanted awe. I got a reminder that sometimes you travel thousands of miles and still can’t close the gap. The ruins didn’t move. Neither did I. Not really. #TravelTruths #DistantPlaces #UnfilteredJourneys #Travel40Share
