I secretly love to get lost. Let me explain. I have spent most of my life on an organized, meticulous schedule. For years I thrived on planning and consistency- there were to to be no surprises that might thwart my perfect blueprint.
Yet, as I grew older and spent more time and experiences alone, I realized that I got a slight thrill from exploring uncharted territory. No, this does not apply to camping as I am deathly afraid of the woods; however, there are moments or even days where I have jumped in my car and just driven. And I have found that when I travel to foreign countries, it is only when I get lost on those winding, antique stone roads and must ask a local for directions, that I discover the real magic of the city.
I encourage you to throw caution to the wind every now and then. You can spend your life planning, but it's okay to give up control once in a while. Get lost. You just may find yourself.
