Pursuing the Wayward Compass


Unlike my iPhone, I did not come into this world pre-installed with maps, internet applications, or a digital compass. More often, my discernible lack of direction has lead to road trips that have yet to involve less than "a few" U-turns and a scolding or two from Siri. I side with the cliché "not all who wander are lost,” yet, I have simultaneously found myself a rescue statistic in more instances than I'd like to admit. As an avid runner, adventure seeker, and nature infatuate (run/walk/crawl/stumble)-ing through early adulthood, I am adjusting to life outside of textbook answers, and barely beginning to take life seriously, and yet not so seriously, at the same time.
