I HAVE A TOXIC RELATIONSHIP WITH ROAD TRIPS.

I love road trips, don’t get me wrong. From the planning to the execution….big fan. Most times I think I overdo it 😂😂😂. New clothes, new earphones that are loud??????, essentials, my family members won’t even hear word whenever I have a trip planned. I would be so excited about it; the gists I would get to hear….funny reactions from people during the trip, those that will come with their partners (🙄please we know you both are in love), close Friends and all. Road trips can be a fun and exciting way to travel and I always look up to it butttttt I hate them.

The noise!!!!! don’t get me started on this one.!!!! Why would I have earphones and I can hear you shouting clearly?????? Why would you do that?????????.The sound of the engine?????? Can’t you move silently??????. I know the chattering and all makes the journey fun but I get really frustrated and exhausted and this makes the trip very unbearable. I mean we could chat and talk but please I know why I am using my earphones😭😭.

Another terrible issue is the lack of air conditioning. I’d always seat close to the window just incase the vehicle is not well ventilated but why would you be having a road trip with a vehicle that is not well ventilated?????. Most times I feel very stuffy and claustrophobic which is strange and it brings discomfort and can really really alter my mood.

MOTION SICKNESS!!!! I never thought I would have to go through this but recently on the last trip I took, I had motion sickness. The constant movement and vibrations of the car can be nauseating and it would literally distract me from enjoying the scenery😓.

Here comes the crazy part. You know how I said I would be so excited to go on a trip earlier and how my family members won’t even hear the last of it??? Wellllll after an 1hr plus into a trip, I feel homesick. Why????? The familiar surroundings of home are replaced with unfamiliar landscapes and unfamiliar people makes me very tensed and scared and I’d just want to go home and sleep.

I also find it very difficult to sleep during a trip. I really love watching the areas we’d Pass through and all but sometimes I’d want to like take a break or sleep or something but it does not just happen.

While I can appreciate the convenience and freedom that comes with traveling by car, the noise, heat, motion sickness, and homesickness make it difficult for me to fully enjoy the experience.

I have to weigh the pros and cons before I decide to take a road trip, would it be worth the stress, would I enjoy my money’s worth and all.

There you have ittt, my love and hate relationship with road trips 😊😊

I know lots of other people go through this soooo do comment below if you do too🤭🤭.
