My first thought is foggy!

Fear of starting

I'll keep it short and sweet!

This is my first time writing something like this. I have no experience and I've always loathed writing — especially my native Portuguese, a language rich in its history but full of weird gramatical rules! (I can explain why in another "interesting" thought dump.) For now, I want to write about a specific feeling: the feeling of wanting, and not wanting — of isolation.

Growth within the fog

Not sure if you ever felt this, but sometimes I just want to grab a plane to Iceland (a topic that will surely come up again) and get a house (though that dream feels nearly impossible), somewhere surrounded by mountains, nature, and fog! In our current very noisy, hate-filled world, this fantasy has become a recurring refuge in my mind. Not that I want

Wow, thank you so much for sharing this, really! I love the first thought that you published here, that's amazing! I kind of feel the same, you know. And for me, writing is one of a way I've found to travel (because I love travelling), I mean when I'm not travelling for real. So, I'm looking forward to read you.

I don't know Iceland but I understand your desire.
It's true that sometimes I want to run away, to stop hearing noises, to have peace, not to feel daily stress, to finally live for myself, fully happy. But where to? The worry is the various attachments we have, money too, the fears that hold us back and the purpose of the destination.
So I travel in my writing. There, I can do what I want, I have no chains, no limits, I can be who I am, do what I want, all I have to do is start writing. But sometimes, like everyone else, everyday life catches up with me and I feel like shouting, “Let go of me!
Thank you for starting Panodyssey with your thoughts, and your desire. Iceland must be magnificent and going there an incredible experience. Why don't you make your dreams come true with Iceland here?
Until maybe one day, you'll go there.

Thank you so much for your heartfelt comment.
What a great point you make! Even though I’m very new to writing, the idea of traveling through our words is incredibly appealing — and perhaps even a great topic or story to explore.
I came to Panodyssey precisely to escape the noise (of mainstream social media) and, in a way — just like you suggested — to travel to places I’ve never been.
Again, thank you for your words and for welcoming me in.
