For a long time, I never really thought where I lived was exciting enough to call “home”. I always wanted to travel, to explore, to have adventures, and to feel fulfilled by my surroundings. I wholeheartedly believe some people are better-suited to some places over others; some people don’t want to drive an hour or … Continue reading

I usually try to stay clear of those subjects on here, but if I said I wasn’t in-tune with those things, I’d be lying. After … Continue reading
