officially on staycation.
my staycation agenda:
“take wrong turns. talk to strangers. open unmarked doors.
and if you see a group of people in a field, go find out what they are doing.
do things without always knowing how they will turn out.”
-randall munroe
come to think of it, i’ve done this my whole life
