this is a post about not being ok (it’s also about expedia, but let’s get through the emo stuff first)…
work took me to london, but my body sat me all the way down. jet lag? stress? exhaustion? depression? maybe some combination of them all… i didn’t know how badly i needed to switch off, until my body just did it for me. life feels so painful at times, and everyone looks at me and says “but you’re so strong”… and sometimes that hurts even more, because being “so strong” is so exhausting! i’m tired y’all!
but, on this trip, i remembered something i learnt while i was giving birth to my daughter:
pain is not an obstacle; pain is a portal.
it is a doorway to what, or who, comes next.
and i don’t mean some magical saviour for my life, i mean *me*. the *me* that exists on the other side of transformation.
i am beyond grateful to @expedia for making it possible for me to have a space to break down and cry—a really f*cking cushy place!— my favourite hotel in london, @corinthialondon 🥹
