I've been on this ship for what feels like forever now. It's just my second day, but it already feels so surreal to be surrounded by all these people and still manage to feel so alone. I guess that's part of the allure of being on a cruise, though - you get away from everything familiar and just live in your own little bubble for a while.

I have to admit, I'm not really sure why I'm even here. My parents were getting divorced when I was younger, and my dad always felt like he didn't know how to relate to me after that happened. So I've sort of been stuck in this limbo between our relationship and my mom's, you know? And as a result, I just kind of took off one day with no real plan other than getting out.

Now here I am - on this ship, surrounded by strangers who are all probably better off than me. It's funny how that works sometimes. You get so caught up in your own little world and then suddenly you're faced with the harsh reality that there are people all around you living lives that are way more successful or fulfilling than yours is. I don't know, maybe that's just part of growing up though? What about you - what brings you on this cruise?
