It brought a tear to my eye, and a big lump to my throat, as I, too, am running away to paradise in 6 weeks to try and find the peace within myself and clear the demons from my head.
What makes it so hard, is that this time last year, I was sharing the magic of Bali with my wonderful family. Even my young boys were moved by the spirituality of the place and people, and that feeling carried over into our family life for many months after we returned.
This time, I am going it alone(you could say running away), due to my marriage recently breaking up, and I'm hoping that I will be able to use the time to reflect on my problems and find some inner peace and strength, so that when I return I can face my problems and move on.
I do thank you for sharing your feelings on Bali so openly and honestly. By doing so, you have made this girl think deeply on a thought process I was trying to avoid.
I can't thank you enough....
