We’ve measured light to travel at a certain speed throughout the universe, but if I were the photon of light or traveling at the speed of light, wouldn’t I travel any distance instantaneously (from my perspective)?

I understand.

My understanding of spacetime... Is if time stops for you, reality breaks from your point of view and your trapped frozen in time. Some people say differently. I think it's a paradox... Because if time stops, then how can it start again if no action can be taken, because time has stopped. Maybe an outside force could stop it, but wouldn't interacting with the object moving at light speed just cause all interactions with it to freeze in time as well? Am I just completely wrong?

Here is other people asking the question. Lots of people answer with math but I find the answers vague and unsatisfactory.
