I won\u2019t say \u2018fixed it\u2019, because that would be sugar coating a pretty crap period. But travel gave me something to aim for. A goal. A plan. And when I was on the road, I found that life was not only full of daily delights (<em>bonjour <\/em>chocolate croissants) but ultimately helped me gain a tonne of perspective. On how much more there was to life that my dramas, and to realise, as Gustave Flaubert puts it, what a tiny place I occupied in the world.
