最近一段时间，我查看我的朋友圈，发现我的很多同学都出去旅游了。看着他们九宫格照片中笑容洋溢的样子，我突然感到一丝丝困惑似乎很少自拍，也很少有他们那样天真洋溢的笑容了。我记不起我上一次真正笑的很开心的情况是什么时候，但是至少在我的记忆里，应该是好几年前的事情了。似乎随着年龄的增长，我反而笑的次数越来越少，似乎很少对生活感到无比幸福和快乐。每天我最安心最快乐的时候，恰恰是下午五点多钟，在学校校园里散步的时间。学校的商业街上人来人往，似乎每位同学都在忙着自己的事，这个时候我反而感到一丝安稳和宁静。比起出去旅游，我似乎更喜欢在自己的房间里看着一本自己喜欢的书，似乎是思想能够带我去比那些旅游景点更远的远方。
最近也在考虑要不要出去旅游，一开始把旅行的目的地定在西藏318国道自驾游。但是经过我的一些调查研究，318自驾游似乎那么简单。我主要面临的问题有高原反应、堵车、高成本、大量的预先准备、详细而周密的旅行规划。我所希望的旅行不是出去找罪受，而是希望有这样一趟旅行：慢悠悠地开着车，途经美丽的山川河流，想什么时候停下来就什么时候停下来，时不时找一处景色优美的地方，停车拍拍照。但我发现，似乎大多数旅行80%的时间都花在与享受无关的事情上了，而且过得很累。这就失去了旅行的意义。

Recently, while scrolling through my social media feed, I noticed that many of my classmates have been traveling. Seeing their beaming smiles in the grid of photos, I suddenly felt a tinge of confusion—I rarely take selfies and seldom have the kind of innocent, radiant smiles they do. I can’t recall the last time I genuinely laughed heartily, but in my memory, it must have been several years ago. It seems that as I grow older, I laugh less and less, and rarely feel overwhelmingly happy or joyful about life. The time I feel most at ease and content is around 5 PM, when I take a walk around the school campus. The bustling commercial street is filled with students, each seemingly busy with their own tasks, yet I find a sense of calm and tranquility in this moment. Compared to traveling, I seem to prefer staying in my room, reading a book I enjoy, as if my thoughts can take me further than any tourist destination.
Lately, I’ve also been considering whether to go on a trip. Initially, I set my sights on a self-driving tour along the 318 National Highway in Tibet. However, after some research, I realized that such a trip isn’t as simple as it seems. The main challenges I face include altitude sickness, traffic congestion, high costs, extensive preparation, and meticulous travel planning. The kind of trip I envision isn’t about enduring hardships but rather about leisurely driving through beautiful mountains and rivers, stopping whenever I feel like it, and occasionally finding a picturesque spot to take photos. Yet, I’ve come to realize that most trips seem to spend 80% of the time on activities unrelated to enjoyment, often leaving one exhausted. This, to me, defeats the purpose of traveling.
