Touching the Summit 
- Experience - 💫
Trauma can affect different people in different ways 👤 Just because Marge down the street has "had it worse" doesn't mean that your feelings are invalid👊 Your feelings are valid.

During my time camping in the jungle, I had a lot of time to switch off from the world 🌎 and concentrate on what was around me and realise that my feelings were valid. .

- Social Media -
When times get tough, all I want to do is hide from everyone, turn off my phone, disconnect from social media and hide from the world. Do you find social media to be good or bad in your life? .

Can you see me? Hiding in Mount Sibayak wasn't difficult. This reminds me of what I want to do when times get tough

- Reflection - 🙉
Accepting that I had anxiety & depression was such a massive step 🚶It also lifted a weight off my shoulders & enabled me to plan a way forward 🌾There is no shame in that. On reflection, that is strong💪 Sometimes in life we go through tough times, but there is always beauty at the end 🌻

During my visit to Indonesia, I remember sitting on the ground to get photographs of Orangutans and Hornbills, the ants were crawling, leeches trying to attach through my trousers and mosquitos trying their luck for lunch. But then I got shots of these fabulous creatures, while speaking with other enthusiastic travellers @sumatraecotravel

- Always Worse -🙈
There will always be someone who suffered more than you 🍃That doesn't mean that your symptoms & feelings were any less valid 💪 We all react different to trauma. Do not discredit someone else's experiences. .

The people of Northern Sumatra never ceased to amaze me with their resilience & lust for life 🐣They get up, work, eat, work, eat, sleep, repeat. All this in soemtimes extremely challenging conditions that are often exposed to natural disasters 🌋 But everyone works together to get the jobs done. The sense of togetherness is immense ❤

Did you ever visit somewhere and wonder "how are people still working here?" This was my thought When i saw people working at the foot of the active volcano 🌋 Sinabung 🌋 The village is no longer occupied, but workers return back to work through the day and leave on an evening, so they can sleep in peace. Even 30km away in the nearby town of Berastagi, there is ash from a recent eruption.
