Petra Was Ancient. I Was Just Tired.

Everyone says Petra is a wonder. And it is—rose-red stone, columns that outlasted empires, the kind of silence that feels like a dare. But nobody talks about the heat that presses on your chest, or the way the crowds move like a slow, tired river. I remember standing in front of the Treasury, sweat stinging my eyes, and feeling nothing but the weight of my own exhaustion. Maybe I thought seeing something this old would make me feel small in a good way. Instead, I just felt worn out—like I’d carried too many expectations through the desert. Sometimes, the ruins outlast the wonder. Sometimes, you just need a nap. #TravelFatigue # #NoFilterTravel # #PetraTruths #Travel
