The term “journey” typically refers to a physical or metaphorical passage or expedition from one place, condition, or point in time to another. It often involves a series of events, experiences, or stages of development along the way. Journeys can be undertaken for various reasons, such as personal growth, exploration, adventure, or achieving a specific goal. They can take place in the real world, like a road trip, or symbolically, like the journey of self-discovery or the journey of a character in a story. The concept of a journey is often associated with change, learning, and transformation.
