Moving to the Midwest to support a partner in law school led to feelings of restlessness and losing personal independence. Initially treating the move as an adventure, attempts to create a new life through activities like joining a gym and social dating did not fulfill existing needs. While the partner immersed in law school, the individual felt more like a satellite, longing for the independence of solo travel. Ultimately, the weight of unfulfilled aspirations prompted a longing for the freedom that travel had always brought.
After a year of feeling restless and lost, I booked a solo trip, craving the freedom and independence that traveling has always provided.
When my partner left for law school in the Midwest, I followed him and thought it was part of a bigger plan, ignoring my gut feelings.
