Henah, the anxiety is so real! As someone who also struggles with generalised anxiety, it definitely worsens during travel. Now our little one is here, I just know that will amplify even more so in the future too. This was really comforting to read knowing that it is a fairly universal struggle x

TSA wait lines are all over my TikTok feed, all set to creepy horror music. No doubt they’re long, confusing, and anxiety-producing—but does the virality only make them feel even worse than they are? Or is it helpful for travelers to see what others have experienced? Idk!!

Oooohh this is a good point! Personally it was helpful because I had 3 flights last week and if I had done my normal protocol of showing up 90 minutes early, I would've missed my flights. But the over-the-top creepy horror music isn't needed—we're already anxious!!
