#trave

Don't let your luggage define your travels, each life unravels differently. ↗

People around the world were moving from one place to another. No one was staying. ↗

We leave something of ourselves behind when we leave a place, we stay there, even though we go away. And there are things in us that we can find again only by going back there. ↗

— Pascal Mercier

What I am in search of is not so much the gratification of a curiosity or a passion for worldly life, but something far less conditional. I do not wish to go out into the world with an insurance policy in my pocket guaranteeing my return in the event of a disappointment, like some cautious traveller who would be content with a brief glimpse of the world. On the contrary, I desire that there should be hazards, difficulties and dangers to face; I am hungry for reality, for tasks and deeds, and also for privation and suffering. ↗

— Hermann Hesse

one of the best and the most painful things about time traveling has been the opportunity to see my mother alive. ↗
