It Wasn't Loneliness. It Was Vulnerability | Solo Van Life at 55

Описание: It's not always beautiful sunsets and rainbows.

Last week I had a couple of really difficult days. Someone messaged to say I must be lonely, but that wasn't it at all. My Starlink payment failed, my roaming data ran out, a few things broke that I couldn't fix, and a man parked up next to me and behaved in a way I'd normally just brush off. With no internet and no phone signal in the middle of Spain, I felt vulnerable, and I'm not very good at vulnerability.

I'm strong, I'm confident, I put my big girl pants on like Wonder Woman... but that week I didn't feel like her at all. So I moved on, found a lovely new park-up, and reminded myself that it's okay not to be okay. That's the whole point of this life: easier, calmer, more enjoyable. I'm still here, still doing it, and I'm feeling a whole lot better now.

If you've ever felt like this, on the road or at home, tell me in the comments. You're not on your own. 🧡
