hi everyone, for the past few years iv been wanting to go somewhere for my birthday. since I work from home I don't leave the house too often and have developed some anxiety about being away from home. This year I finally did it, I didn't travel too far I stayed in the same town but I found a cute lake house to stay at for my birthday. I traveled there and I'm here now, away from home my safe comfort zone. I've been anxious all week about leaving home and couldn't sleep a few nights because of it. But I didn't chicken out in the end and now I get to look at the lake water and relax on the dock and watch the baby ducks and geese. I'm still a bit anxious but I think i'll be okay. I just really wanted to tell someone about this, iv been wanting to do this for years and finally did it.

Good for you ! It’s so great that you have been able to get away and enjoy your birthday 🥳. It’s also positive that you stepped out of your comfort zone. I would suggest taking photos on your phone so you can keep memories of your trip close to your heartbn

Way to go! And I'm jealous! It sounds like a peaceful escape and you achieved it. There is a certain serenity in gazing out over the water. And ducks have always been my favorite. Enjoy every minute of your victory. Perhaps this will be your gateway to more victories outside of your home. I hope you continue to have fun. And Happy Birthday!
