Leaving for vacation on Friday! I... am not ready.



I've been dealing with low-level anxiety for the past two weeks now. Was having trouble putting my finger on the reason for it, but I'm pretty sure now that it's trip-related.

There isn't even any reason for me to be so anxious, because the trip is to Victoria, BC. I've been there before! Hell, I think it was only two years ago that I was there, in fact. It's not a serious trip! I'm not going to do anything stressful! I plan to do little except write and take some photos and write and relax. And write.

But my brain always kind of freaks out before I go on vacation, so I guess that would be why. Hopefully it will calm down once I'm actually in Victoria. While I was in Amsterdam, I was in a state of constant low-level stress, but that makes sense because of the whole "foreign country that I've never been to blah blah blah" thing. But Victoria is familiar, so... I dunno. Hopefully the anxiety will be minimal.

Luckily, at this point I know what's going on, so I can sit back and be like "Huh, my brain sure is being weird right now". But it's still... annoying.



... Anyway. On account of the above, I might be nonresponsive for a while. Or maybe not. Depends on how I feel.

(Just watch, I'll feel perfectly fine tomorrow. That happens a lot.)

I do this too. Constantly double-checking everything. Getting freaked out that I am not ready or that it's coming up on me too soon. Even if I know it will be wonderful.

And just as fast as it comes on...it usually clears up.

Stupid anxiety.

*kicks it for you*

I sometimes get like that before a trip, although thankfully by the time I get on a plane my brain just goes 'yaaaaay on our way :D'. (Though in my case a lot of the stress is driven by my parents nagging me.)

Hope you have a good time and enjoy your trip! (And write a lot!)
