I'm 45, and just last month, I finally broke. Between my soul-sucking job and constantly being the emotional rock for everyone else... I felt like I couldn't breathe anymore. I was done. So, I did something wild. I went to the airport and bought the first ticket out. Destination: Cancún, Mexico.
I thought I could start fresh, maybe even find a piece of myself again. But the second I landed, things went south. The taxi driver I trusted robbed me blind... took my wallet, phone, everything! I was stranded, alone, and terrified in a foreign country.
The last thing I remember was that I was sitting on the floor, sobbing harder than I ever had. And just when I thought it couldn't get any worse… I heard that voice. The voice I never, ever wanted to hear again.I'm 45, and just last month, I finally broke. Between my soul-sucking job and constantly being the emotional rock for everyone else...
