My best friend and I have been planning to travel together for years, but every time we try to make concrete plans one of us finds a reason to postpone it. I think we're both afraid that the trip won't live up to all the dreaming we've done about it, or worse, that we'll discover we don't actually travel well together.
More people experience this than they realize.
The fantasy has become more precious than the reality, and you're both protecting the dream by never testing it.
