(serious) I feel dead inside, would traveling fix it?

Travel will shock you out of your comfort zone, which can be a temporary solution to feelings of hopelessness.

Don't expect it to last when you come back though. You will still have work to do. But at least you'll have positive memories and new life experiences to draw on.

The key is living normal life the way you live when you are traveling. You are here, on earth, to create, relate, enjoy yourself and others. You have the power at all times to change your circumstances when you are unhappy. Sometimes that involves taking risks, but some risk is good. Travel shows you this but it is easy to forget.

Accept what is inherent to travel: it is like a movie which will end. It is up to you to draw meaning from that movie and incorporate it into your own life.
