LOH #165: Trips I shouldn't miss for the world

When I was young, I had dreams of going to England or Canada. Just because I saw images of snow in books. Fast forward to when I was a teen, I wanted nothing more than to go to Korea. South Korea. Again, this was because I saw them in the movies. I just wanted to go so I'd experience a different place. Moving on to when I got much older, I had friends who relocated abroad or just went for vacation and I always wondered what that would feel like but hearing the prices these people pay back and forth usually just make me sit put.

But, here is an offer. All expenses paid trip to possibly wherever I wanted. The only catch is I cannot bring anybody and I have to spend it all alone. This is tricky as again it is something I've always wanted, but I don't know about doing it all alone as I, for one, believe that money is better spent with companions. It's a motto for me. If I had money, I would want everyone around me to have it. So, going alone on the trip without family or friends or, at the very least, a partner would be so boring. I have dreams, but in the dream, I don't see myself alone.

I imagine for a second that I am in Canada for this holiday, and I have the liberty to travel around Canada. I know I would first go see Niagra Falls, I would watch as the waters crash against themselves, and I would look to my left to talk… Oh, wait. I'm alone. So I can't.

Now, moving on from Niagara Falls, I would love to explore Old Quebec City to walk around and take in the cultural and historical beauty of the place. I would love to slide my hand in my partner's… again, still just me. Let's now see the ethereal Aurora Borealis in Whitehorse. Of course, I'd love to see the cosmic collisions of ribbons of green, blue, and red. I would love to stare into these colors when I'm done. I'd turn to my partner's… for the last time, it's just me.

Can you see the pictures I painted? How sad and lonely they are. But imagine for a second, I had a companion. Those imaginations would be brought to life, and I would almost feel the reader's tears. I know a lot of people would probably roll their eyes or look at me as if I've grown another head, but this is just my truth. We were born alone, and we die alone. We all know that, but while here on earth, I'd love to spend most of it with my loved ones. Thank you very much.

Some may say that I'm just trying to make the trip romantic. That's not true because even if you consider places that aren't romantic like the bar or restaurant, or even the club. Going alone still sounds off. What happens when you lose your way? Do you drink too much? Or do you simply just need someone to pick you up? I feel like that's why we don't spend life alone, why we have friends, and why we get married.

As much as you might claim that you don't need anyone. You do. You need someone to survive in this lonely, rough, dark world. So, no. I won't accept an All-expenses paid trip if it means that I gotta spend it all alone. Spin it any how you want. My answer would still be the same.
