I used to have a blog. A little space on the internet where I wrote about things that mattered to me.. travel, life, thoughts, random observations, and probably a lot of things I no longer remember writing about. Then, somewhere along the way, I deleted it. honestly.. I don’t remember why I do that. Maybe I thought I had outgrown it..
