A Great Vacation Makes You Appreciate Your Life More

Otherwise, rethink your life!

During my last vacation, we traveled to a place that my partner and I used to live. Going there as a family is a different experience, and wow, did that trip make me appreciate my home so much more.

In a way, vacations are a fantasy made real temporarily. You go somewhere to escape your current life. Have a new experience, and return.

I don’t know why, on this last trip, the fantasy really made me appreciate my life more - I enjoy the life I created and the vacation made me enjoy the life even more.

There were the small things - I could only take so much and I’m used to having more. I always forget something or didn’t plan for a certain situation so I didn’t have my usual tool

The big things were also there too. Things I used to take for granted - living space, air quality, taste of the water, the pace of life, etc..

Note: my vacation was to an urban area and I’m currently living in a rural area.

I don’t know why, the vacation made me appreciate my regular life more - that I don’t want vacation to go on forever, told me I really enjoy the life I have.

Isn’t that the greatest validation for a life that you love? That your fantasy vacation makes you appreciate your regular life more?
