Greetings, everyone!
I have been thinking about taking a solo trip after my NYSC program, not for a long time, but for a short while, just to have fun, think, evaluate, and reflect on the goodness of the Lord. I want time to think deeply about every aspect of myself, just me, in solitude.
Of course, I can do this with joy and excitement. I value my personal space a lot. It would just be me, doing what I need to do to enjoy and rediscover myself. Anything that starts with joy often ends in joy. Taking a solo trip across my country would allow me to learn new things. As the saying goes, traveling is part of education. It would be a great privilege to explore new environments. Since it is a solo trip, I may not want to meet new friends, just myself from beginning to end. For my trip to be successful, I would need to be familiar with the environment to avoid constantly asking people for directions, just me, music, and my car on the road.
I would be very willing, as long as I know how to drive well. If I do not know how to drive, that is where the problem lies, and my movement might be restricted. It would be risky to drive without proper driving skills, to avoid stories that touch the heart.
The risk of driving alone
Possibility of attacks from unknown persons
Car breakdown due to long-distance driving
Getting lost
Physical exhaustion
Looking at these challenges, it might seem difficult to embark on such a journey. I am willing to travel across the country, but these challenges could hold me back.
From a human perspective, considering the risks, traveling by car might not seem worth it. Traveling by air may feel easier, though it also carries its own risks.
Right now, I feel ambivalent about this journey. It is a good decision, and I would love to embark on it. At the same time, I am carefully considering the challenges I might face.

I love, I care, and I forgive
