I cancelled my plans to attend a poetry conference this weekend for no reason or just because of the "getting there" part of the trip. I know once I arrived I would have been fine and happy to see my poet friends, but I stayed home and wrote a poem about solitude instead. I'm glad you are working your way out of the home/away from home conundrum.
Loved reading this. My arrival ritual is to step out immediately as soon as check into the new hotel for my first plate/bowl of food. Nothing symbolises arrival than the energy I feel eating at an authentic place in my destination. It tells me to be excited, careful and be present all at once.
I love the vulnerability in your writing Priya. How you're sharing both your interiority in addition to the exteriority of the journey. And I love learning about how your transformation was not exactly what you expected, but it's okay, nonetheless. Beautiful♥️🙏🕊️
I have to second what Camilla said about your writing being so open and vulnerable. I absolutely love how you will share your inner world with us in a way where you don’t try to justify or explain your thoughts and feelings. Instead, you invite us to ponder what they might mean with you. It is a very welcome style of writing. :)

I'm not sure what arrival means to me, but I love hearing you explore what it means to you!

More space inside is such a lovely way to put that feeling of being unexpectedly okay.
A great post Priya.
