This resonates so hard. I feel like I've scoffed at all the Journey Talk I keep coming across. Hydration journey had me chuckling. Teeth-whitening journey! Plant-care journey! Correctly sized bra journey! I love that you didn't dismiss anything, though. You are so right that your journey is whatever you choose.

One side effect of all the Journey Talk for me, however, is Journey Fatigue. I don't need everything to be such a big damn deal. I feel like I can search for a better bed pillow, say, without needing the questiness of it all.

First off, questiness is the best word. I now plan to use it often, so thank you for this wonderful gift.

I laughed out loud at teeth-whitening journey. And yes! Wary of any quest that is actually comparison shopping in sheep’s clothing. Like, I just need jeans that fit my body, not a customized salvaged vintage denim adventure.
