Well, it is March again…
A full year of working from home, staying inside, and going literally nowhere. This past year has me missing a lot of things. I miss the little things like spending way too much time browsing in a bookstore, casually walking into cafes for a bite to eat, and socializing with different human beings. But, I most desperately miss traveling. I miss the excitement of planning a trip and having something to look forward to, counting down the days until I can put my out-of-office response on, sitting in the airport as strangers come and go, flying amidst the clouds, landing in a foreign land, exploring new places and embracing different cultures, trying to foods, meeting new people, and falling in love with the world.
My desire to leave this house, to go on walks anywhere besides this town, to simply be anywhere else is at an all-time high. But, instead of going anywhere, I’ve watched countless hours of television, trying to watch my wanderlust away.

Fun fact, when Kaley first tried to buy the rights to the book the series is based on she hadn’t even read it yet, she just liked the cover art!
