I think of these at the strangest times - at 3:00 in the morning, in the shower, on a long drive, or in the middle

No matter where you live,
the climate is either too hot, too cold, or too moderate.

If you’re searching
for new places, take the old roads. If you’re longing for new faces, take another look at the ones you know.
¨
It’s not that time
moves so fast; it’s just that it’s moving in the wrong direction.
¨
The world is changing
so quickly that I’m beginning to get nostalgic for the future.
