How do you know when, “enough is enough”?

I am glad I didn’t travel to all 7 continents.

I was in Peru when the travel bug began to wear off.

29 weeks.

3 continents.

11 countries.

Yesterday, I spoke to a friend of mine in Bolivia 🇧🇴

He asked, “How did you know when enough was enough?”

His question reminded me of a conversation I had with a friend of mine prior to my tour around the 🌎

I remember my friend saying, “You’ll feel it.”

It didn’t make much sense at first.

I wanted something more concrete, tangible.

However, once I experienced it myself, I understood completely what my friend was saying.

I was in Cusco, Peru 🇵🇪 when the feeling came.

“We should go see Machu Picchu!” one of my friends said.

I didn’t respond.

It was the first time in a long time, I showed zero interest.

No desire to see one of the, “Seven Wonders of the World”.

I was missing my parents 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

I was missing my friends 🫂

I was missing a sense of a routine 🗓

I was missing a hot shower 🚿

I was no longer appreciating the natural beauty around me 🌅

I needed to reconnect to self, to process the thousands of new impressions ✍️

Enough was enough.
