Excellent. Have often had similar thoughts. Do you think people misuse the word journey because their lives are in fact so static? Nah, it’s just a stupid fad…

Thank you! And you’re right. It’s not even misuse. It’s overuse. In isolation, when people use the word “journey,” it’s fine. The issue is that the metaphor is so ubiquitous, the world should eventually turn against it. But that presupposes that people are actually listening to other people.

It’s just a metaphor. It stems from the platitude “it’s not about the destination but the journey,” which like most platitudes has truth to it. But I did like this piece bc there’s truth in it, too. “Journey” is overused
