Am I still in Perth?


Travelled to Perth from 26th Sep to 12th Oct, for a study trip. Been hit by post travel withdrawal (PTW) ever since..

So yesterday I had a sudden realization that (PTW) has a disturbingly similar effect to a relationship breakup. Disturbing because a short two and a half week study trip could have the same (or worse) impact as years of being in a relationship. And I've experienced both.

My heart aches at everything I do. From waking up in the morning, taking a shower, having breakfast, packing my bag, all the way to taking a shi...well you get the idea.

This was one of the trip where the post impact was more severe than the trip itself. It came only a day after touching down back in the Motherland. It came hard.

What's worse is that once you realise that you have gotten/beginning to get over PTW, it makes you sad because you are getting over something that was memorable and meaningful. There is no win in this situation.
