This quote came across my Facebook feed recently and I thought it appropriate to share since I set out on a 7-week roadtrip next week.
When you’re traveling, you are what you are right there and then. People don’t have your past to hold against you. No yesterdays on the road. ~William Moon
There is an intriguing truth to this quote. Although it’s not something I’ve ever articulated for myself, I have always had this feeling… the clean slate, the freedom from the baggage of your history, to be stripped down to the moment you’re in and be yourself with bare honesty because the people you meet have no preconceived notions of who you are or what you’re about.
That respite from your history allows you to return and face your past, both good and bad, with fresh perspective.
