Coming to the end of my trip. Headed back to the States tomorrow. Solo travel offers time of solitude interrupted by small moments of social interaction. My first solo trip was Japan, Portugal was 2nd. My plan is Vietnam next year with a buddy. I think I will enjoy having a buddy to go with.

This has been an emotionally challenge year for me personally. Wrestling with doubts about my faith and if staying on the straight and narrow is worth it.

I've been working on flight nursing as a goal for 7 years, and while that goal took my far, I remained tunnel visioned about other opportunities around me. I am not "quiting/giving" up on that goal but pivoting on a more challenging path.

There has been may positive people on NOSTR which I think have helped me maintain a long term goal outlook instead of short term gains.

Feeling rested and ready to get back to work, lifting, training BJJ again, and starting school again this fall. Thanks #nostr community for helping.
