Parenting is very real, and (I'm guessing) more difficult than travel, especially since one can't (or shouldn't) just hop on a plane to leave. I'm sure the idea that the imperfect experience is more inspiring/educational/story-worthy could be applied to many other things as well. Hope you're doing well!

It's funny though, because I could say many of the same things, but my "getting lost somewhere foreign" involves the physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausting days of being a parent (not as <i>romantic</i> as travelling, but very real). I could elaborate if you like, but I'll just say I could draw a LOT of parallels from what you wrote. (Being woken up at 2 am, knowing those around you don't understand your language, even feeling like you don't belong. :-)) <br /><br />And yes, the days that were the most miserable or frustrating are the ones that I know could become the most amusing or <i>important</i> stories.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11669243109463801829noreply@blogger.com
