The trip was really important for me because it was the first time since going back to therapy that I've taken an extended period of time to sit with myself and acknowledge the immense amount of effort I've been putting into learning more about myself. And to be quite frank, this means longer than a five minute daily meditation, because in all honesty, how deep into our thoughts are we really getting within a five minute timeframe?
