A few heartbreaks more, and there I was, finding myself addicted to my own remedy—travelling. And now, I believe that not all of those who wander are lost because in travelling, you are given millions of opportunities that can make you realize that there is more to life than the greatest love you’ve lost or the chances you did not take. In travelling, you can find yourself and pick up the broken pieces that left you crawling and begging for mercy. In travelling, you would realize that there is something so much bigger than your hurt and pain.
Now, if you are always waking up to a broken heart and you feel like there is no escaping the misery you are in, think again.
Travel Tip 1: Breathe.
Sleepless nights and a bucket full of sorrow—no one can definitely hide the symptoms of a broken heart. But no matter how difficult it may be, believing that everything naturally withers in its own time is definitely a big sigh of relief. Realizing that you do not have to fight your pain can help you let go of all the hurt and resentment you feel in your heart. When travelling, find a place where you can cry it all out. Cry, shout… do what you must to release your anger. But after that, take a deep breath and try to calm yourself. Take your time. Things like these don’t need to be rushed.
Travel Tip 2: Explore
Once you have shouted it all out loud, it’s now time for you to explore on the things that you have never tried before. Book a ticket and just pack your bags. You don’t need to stay in your comfort zone at this very moment. Remember, this is the time when you need to explore the world on your own.
The advantage of being a traveller is that you can always find comfort in the beauty of the world. With travelling as your buddy, you can have the entire world as your crying shoulders, and you can always expect things to be wonderful. Bungee jump… sky dive… choose adventures you have never dared to try before. Aside from releasing all of the tensions, it can make you realize how courageous you can be even if you are out on your own.
Travel Tip 3: Be Open
With a broken heart as your extra baggage, it is definitely going to be extra difficult for you to trust other people again. Nonetheless, being open to experiencing new things and making new friends does not mean that you need to fall in love again right away. Meeting other people is one way for you to embrace other culture and learn more about yourself. By being open to a lot of people (well, trust-worthy ones), you can create a better version of yourself—a version you have never realized could exist.
Mending a broken heart is never easy. But with the right mindset and a kick-ass attitude, you can always find light even in the darkest tunnels.
