The Death of 'Me': A Travel Memoir Part 4 of "yes"

April 6, 2022 (Still chilling... but I effed up...) (Full Journey Map)

This day was not that chill, but I was really trying 😅

I still didn't have a whole lot of energy at this point but exploring was calling my name! So I was a bit more up and at 'em.

When I tell you that everything is different there, it's so freeing. The thing is, nearly nekkid people are walking around the city as ads... and everyone else was wearing anything from cheesy vacation clothes to formal wear. Nobody cares what you are wearing here.

I come from an area and an upbringing that 'prefers' being covered up. I can struggle to wear certain clothes that I feel like 90% of the population wouldn't bat an eye at. But here? Nope! I felt so free to wear whatever I wanted, for the first time. And I did. Obviously, I didn't have anything crazy but I did think to bring the outfits I couldn't bring myself to wear back home. It was colors and styles that were just more fun too. Stuff that stood out. I don't like to be seen so much, but nobody saw me here. And I loved it 😂

I was gonna get purdied up and go explore outside the hotel a bit. There was a promenade right outside the hotel... I'm not exaggerating either. It was so much fun.

I picked out an outfit to wear and was doing my hair and stuff. Nothing crazy... as expected. But after I get done with my makeup and everything, something felt off...

I didn't understand why my makeup was melting off my face. My face started kinda burning... Turns out, my precaution sunscreen under my makeup wasn't for your face! I should know this but didn't. It had been years since I had worn much less paid attention to makeup and skincare. It had been long enough that I forgot how sensitive my skin was!!! I shouldn't have been putting anything new on my face! 😅

But, I got it washed off... And now my face looks like a tomato. It doesn't even look burnt, just weird lol

This doesn't do it justice!!! It was bright red and stayed that way for days! 😅🤣 and I couldn't use any of the makeup I brought the whole week! (I wish I could make this picture smaller though lol)

So yeah, great start to exploring 😂

I was still so determined to go out. I figured that nobody knew me and maybe they would just think I was sunburnt if anyone saw. So away I went...

I did get to go out in the outfit I picked so I still felt pretty good. It was still liberating even with a tomato face hehe (I don't have any pics of the outfits because I wasn't planning to share...). For the next trips, I will be making sure to take more pics with me in them! These could almost be anyone's memories. I have very little proof to myself that I was the one that experienced this firsthand. Believe it or not, I have a really good imagination and can feel like I have been to places that I haven't. Which is why I think flying felt so familiar to me... I like the idea of flying off into nowhere so I imagine traveling and airports a lot... too much maybe 😅

With so much around me to go see, I knew I didn't have to go very far to see a lot of stuff and get a feel for things. I didn't expect myself to trek the entire strip or anything... But I wanted to feel like I went somewhere.

I don't think I was gone for even an hour before I felt like heading back. A huge start for me. I start small and then work myself up slowly. I made sure to return before I felt it was too much. I wasn't here to exercise my scaredy-cat muscles! Not specifically anyway...

Proof that I did in fact, leave the hotel... 😂😅

This is a slightly deceptive pic, however. This is only a small section of the hotel...

I walked a bit on either side of it. Which did end up being useful later on. Just from my little walk I could get a pretty good idea of where I was and the stuff around me. I had all but studied the map of the area surrounding my hotel when I booked... Maybe that's weird, I don't know 😅😂 It greatly helped my anxiety but was also just really fun. Maps are kinda fun.

Everything where I was had so much going on. The roads were dressed up, if that can happen... Everything is dressed up and expensive looking 😂

I thought this was a cute little cubby of restaurants. It was tucked into the side of fa bigger building, almost hidden.

I went to Guy Fieri’s restaurant, which was also… just downstairs from my room 😂 (The main message is I never had to go far, but got to do a lot… hehe)

I learned a lot here. Most importantly, if you have never had bourbon…let me describe my experience…

If shoes had butts… they would taste like bourbon… I will leave that there…

I was ready to pay for it still but they took it off my tab before I could even ask for anything else 😊 I was super grateful.

I don't know why I thought people were making a big deal about the burn of alcohol...I'm nearly 100% certain it's the taste they don't like now.

Everything else was delish, of course, 🥰 alcohol just isn’t for me. I would rather eat dessert, thanks. 😂

Something I just can't get over.

Ya'll have probably ridden in an elevator... but you know how it's a bit of a wait, right? It can get a little scary in some?

The elevators there go at the speed of light! And it's so smooth!!!

This shouldn't be such a big deal but it is 😂 They were so nice. Riding in the elevators was enlightening. You don't realize just how behind things are back home until you leave home!

I recorded it on my phone because it was that big of a deal to me. I was on the eleventh floor and it took SECONDS to get down.

I'm not adding the video here because it's crap quality, but it's only 37 secs, and most of that is me getting in and hitting the button 😅😂

That was how I spent my third day of the trip. Walking around and surviving...sorta XD

This experience I had really made me curious about what other places could unlock just from one visit. I was now more empowered to wear things I wanted to. What's next? What else don't I know? I can't wait to find out, honestly! 🥰 This felt like being in a different movie and experiencing everything from a different lens and as a new character. Suddenly there was a different writer or something. The music felt different. The ideas I had were new...

I don't have a whole lot recorded as I really didn't think about sharing this on here. So this is just what I remember and have to pictures to spark memories for. 😊 Thanks for reading!

pitched battle inside my brain between the part of me that's desperately shaking myself by the shoulders going "YOU HAVE GOT TO ACTUALLY LIVE THE KIND OF LIFE YOU IMAGINE INSTEAD OF JUST SITTING AROUND IMAGINING IT UNTIL YOU DIE!!" and the part of me that's clutching my face going "is this allowed? is this allowed?? is this allowed???"

#trying to plan a solo cicada pilgrimage and getting brainworms about it yeehaw #'making a lot of plans and never actually doing things in real life' has been a problem for literally as long as I can remember #but I also feel like I've developed a learned helplessness over the last several years that's gotten worse as I've gotten older??#me age twenty: I think I'm gonna take myself to chicago next week because I feel like going to the zoo #me age thirty: am I allowed to go camping alone. am I allowed to do a solo road trip. I need a grownup #to be extremely clear I am very much allowed and this is not justin's fault and I don't know where it comes from #like I'll run things by him lowkey seeking 'permission' that I don't even need and he'll be like 'yeah that sounds good to me'#and then I STILL won't do the thing because like. my brain keeps insisting there needs to be a grownup in charge?? HELLO I'M GROWNUP #anyway I'm doing cicada trip solo BECAUSE-- the drive is so long I want to do five days because two of them will just be driving #and he can't get that much time off work right now #AND because I literally only want to Be Camping and Looking At Bugs but he'd get bored of a week of that he likes Activities #me this morning getting insecure and weird: what are your thoughts... on cicada voyage....#him after at first not even understanding the question: I'm SO excited for you?? you deserve to get to go absolutely feral???#I do.... ;n; 💕 why am I so scared to be a person.......#about me #cicada journey

this is a reminder for everyone to do more stuff alone even if it's scary. go on that trip, go to that concert, sit in your favorite coffee shop. i know it's terrifying but i promise it will get easier every time. don't miss out on things just because no one wants to do them with you.

#i used to hate doing things alone #it was awkward and weird and i was thinking about what other people might think of me #and now look at me #i've been doing solo trips and solo concerts for years now and it gets easier and better each time #there hasn't been a single trip or concert that i regretted #and i promise you won't regret it either #start small you don't have to go on a big trip for your first time #but pls pls PLS try to do something that makes you happy #even if you think it's awkward to do it alone #i promise it's not and no one gives a shit #you got this <3

The Death of 'Me': A Travel Memoir Part 3 of "yes"

April 5, 2022 (second day of definitely not dying) (Full Journey Map)

I'm not gonna lie. I spent most of this day in the hotel room recovering. Which may seem dramatic but it wasn't. The day before was super draining and after ignoring food all day, you have to woo her back... I love her dearly so that is what I did!

I was looking up the restaurants around me and seeing about delivery and pickups and things. It is a vacation, after all, so I spent the day chillin’. The thing about Vegas though, is there is so much around these big hotels it's CRAZY! I had to be cautious to stay away from gluten... but if I didn't have to, oh my... The trip woulda been WAY different! Again, I'm a dedicated lover.

JUST LOOK AT THOSE POTATOES!!! YUMMY

I had a coffee shop right outside the elevator! It was a beautiful thing. There was so many places to eat inside and around the building that I didn't leave the hotel for either of these things. They were both between me and the front desk. Crazy...

You might be thinking... "Alishea, why are you drinking that much coffee when you need water?" And to you I say...shhh! It was yummy! And caffeine headaches are the worst! I was also drinking hydration stuff with a lot of water.

But here is one of my favorite parts about Vegas...everything is themed!!! The Link, the hotel where I was staying, was more colorful and chill. Maybe chill isn't the word but a couple of the other places felt super fancy-themed. They were pretty and on a different trip I would love to go, but this one was perfect for my trip this time!

When you are trying to get a hotel here, I highly suggest that if you can, pick the place that calls to you. You are probably gonna go into the other ones anyway... It sounds weird where I'm from, but there they have everywhere set up like a mall and casino.

Like look at this!!!! This was downstairs in my HOTEL!!!!

I wanted one of each of the brightly colored mugs but alas, I picked the tall green one. These colors are so nice!

Some sassy sunglasses ones... also made it into the list of possibilities. And I have never wanted a tattoo so bad in my life 😂🤣 I didn’t get one, but I had already been thinking about it. The idea of flying for that long with a tattoo, in the place I wanted it (👀), woulda been awkward and uncomfy. So I did not. The temptation was strong though! It was a whole tattoo shop downstairs in my hotel…

The whole city was busy with people at all times (obv). It did take a bit of getting used to for me. Regular busy times were even crazier, but there were always people.

As this was my first time with a hotel room all to me… or any space to myself for that matter… I was really enjoying the day just chilling in the room and knowing that I didn’t have to do much. Nobody was going to be upset if we didn't watch tv. Nobody was afraid we were gonna be late. It was a peace I had never gotten to experience in my 27 years of living. The entire trip was fantastic but the few days I spent alone and chillin' in my room were the most eye-opening of all.

But I haven’t even mentioned why I’m in Vegas yet! (I wanted to focus on how dramatic I was in the first bit 😅😂 I didn't want the knowledge of why I was going to distract from it)…

I got tickets to see BTS!!!! I didn’t think I was gonna get to go and by all rights, it probably shouldn’t have happened. 😅 But it did!!! I got tickets to the first show, on the 8th! I almost got a ticket to see the second day but decided not to...

I’d actually never fully considered going on a trip on my own before this. It was always "maybe I could travel" or "one day I wanna", but nothing to get too excited about. I did love the idea of traveling so much though that I had seen many a travel video by this point. I have actually started a fantasy world that I was inspired to create while watching a travel video with absolutely no goal in mind 😂

A reason, I needed a reason. And BTS and ARMY were my reason! The time factor helped as well. It wasn’t like taking a trip to Vegas on its own. I would procrastinate forever if that were the case... The unfortunate truth of being convinced that you and the things you want are not reason enough. You are reason enough!

This is the craziest part for me though. When I was booking my stay, around a month before, I didn't want to stay long in Vegas. I didn't know much about it other than it was busy. I wasn't into casinos and as you can probably tell...I don't get out much at all anyway. I'm 'nocturnal' but that doesn't mean I like nightlife 😅😂 So I didn't think I needed to stay much longer than was necessary for the concert.

However! It was just as much money if not more, to stay only three days for the concert as it was to stay the week... Due to the weekend.😐

But I really didn't want to. I thought I should stay home and work those days so I could save and travel to a destination I was into. The Universe had other plans though! Every time I tried to book something for under 7 days it wouldn't go through. Sometimes for absolutely no reason! I was getting so frustrated because I didn't understand why I got to get the tickets and suddenly booking the hotel and flights had issues nonstop. The Universe had a plan and I was really struggling to accept it. The Universe and I have communication style that I am still learning but I am also very stubborn... Not only did I think I wouldn't like Vegas much, I felt like I shouldn't be able to stay in a fancy hotel, in a fancy city for a whole week when a few days would do. (STOP THAT!!! This is your vaca, you do what you want!!!)

I almost stayed for 11 days because it was again, about the same price. I didn't end up doing that because the airline I would be taking was a bit sketchy... The 'app' for it wouldn't load and the website was ridiculously slow. Not something I wanted to deal with when flying at all much less for the first time solo. No added stress, please! 🥰

The ridiculous overthinking I did when booking this was so intense 😅😂 Like girl, you don't want to stay seven days, where did eleven come from??? But actually, it came from thinking I needed to find a cheaper flight and hotel room no matter what! Because a nice hotel room was "too much." I knew the Universe had something it wanted me to do, but I felt like I was just using that as an excuse to stay longer. I didn't need an excuse so...

But it all worked out in the end. I did get the flight booked. As soon as I went to a week and picked the hotel I felt right with it went through the first time and super easy. (It was all the same sight too!)

I'm super glad I did stay a week! The Universe does actually know what's going on, I just didn't understand the why and how of everything. It was by far the best week of my life and taught me so much about myself. When it's pulling you to do something you may think is too much, maybe just listen and see what happens...

So apart from running around in the lobby and planning food, I was also checking out all the really cool things for ARMY to do in the city. They had lots of extra stuff that we could do for the days around the concerts. 🥰 It was really cool.

I was really wanting to run into ARMY on the 5th and 6th but I didn't really see anyone. Which makes sense because the first concert was on the 8th, but I was hopeful 😊

I created a little list of things that I kinda wanted to do before I left. One was riding the Ferris wheel outside my hotel. It looked so cool! I also wanted to try the never-ending supply of slot machines just because... I mean, I was in Vegas!!! I got $10 for something that I don't remember and used that. It wasn't that fun for me, but hey.

It was later in the night when it hit me that I was actually in a faraway city, doing far away city things (sorta 😋). Then a few minutes later I remember that I was actually getting to go to the concert. It was oddly enough a really fun way to end the day. Horrible for sleep but it happened eventually.

And that was the gist of how I spent my first day in Las Vegas 😅😂Nothing fancy but one of my favorite days!

This was the main soundtrack of the trip. Jungkook shared it in one of the previous months and it felt perfect for Vegas!
