    I’m 33 and I just realized I’ve never actually gone on a real vacation. Whenever I “travel” and take time off it’s just to see family in another state. I’ve never like, gone to a tropical island and just hung out on the beach for a few days.

      In all fairness, “real vacations” are a product being sold and advertised to you by the holiday industry. Taking time off at home and visiting friends and relatives is a perfectly fine use of vacation time.

      I did this many years ago and it was so healing and my fog lifted from my brain and I had incredible energy, and then the day before I left I caught a cold in the hotel and fell asleep with my mouth open in 0% humidity and spent the next 2 weeks hunched over a keyboard with blood leaking from my mouth and lips and every benefit of the vacation was gone forever
