As I prepared to leave, it felt surreal that I was going anywhere at all. It is hard to imagine yourself traveling before you go; in fact, imagining yourself traveling is more like remembering yourself traveling. How weird it is to not be able to envision where you’re going, which makes it seem impossible or fantastical that you will ever get there at all.
