Here we are, post-cave adventure. Wow. What a day. This is what happens when you set a specific, powerful intention before going into a meditation cave. Something very significant definitely happened to me today. I can’t explain it. I just dove right into the darkness, taking everything I’ve learned on...Read More

BLOG: In Da Cave

Wednesday. Had to leave my morning class because I suddenly became overwhelmed and filled with chaotic, scattered energy that I could not get under control. I politely asked to be excused, then promptly disappeared into the rainforest and had a full-blown meltdown. I just started crying and couldn’t stop. I...Read More

Tuesday afternoon. On break from class. Not much to say. Just doing yoga with some chill people in a rainforest. Join us! I decided to confront the British Guy last night after I wrote my blog. I’m just not the type that likes to talk about people behind their backs....Read More

Monday night. Day 2 of my YTTC is over. I am sore but happy I got over my anxiety spiral and got on the plane. Best decision I’ve ever made. I was so worried about what the cohort would be like, but everyone here is pretty chill. They come from...Read More

Sunday night. I should be asleep but I’m not, of course. Why? Because I’m writing, of course. I’m writing because I’m currently sexting with the British Guy and he’s so hilariously bad at it, LMFAO! I can’t even. The Britishisms. lol. I’ll give you one excerpt because I literally just...Read More

Greetings from Indonesia! May I offer you some advice before coming here? Don’t even bother applying online for a visa. It’s a scam. They just take your money and then say you don’t have an approved visa and then charge you more money for a visa on arrival and then...Read More

TRIGGER WARNING: This post discusses sexual choking and other forms of violence in the bedroom. Currently sitting at the gate waiting for my delayed flight.

Posted on August 23, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Saturday afternoon. Currently sitting in airport hell because I ended up missing my flight. Managed to get on the last direct flight to Bali tonight. Of course, it got delayed. Now I will be landing around 1am if I’m lucky. Ugh. Definitely missed my flight because I had another massive...Read More

Saturday morning. Packing up to leave Thailand. Naturally, I have made little progress since last night. Everything is still a giant mess, as per usual. Had a dream last night where I was stuck on one of those little old timey mine carts like in Indiana Jones and kept having...Read More
