Impulses
August 20, 2023Traveling is more fun—hell, life is more fun—if you can treat it as a series of impulses

Impulsivity has definitely gotten the best of me sometimes but I would take it over being too calculated or hesitant any day. I’ve had far more good times than bad saying “why not?” and rolling with it.
This photo is legendary for me and taken on one of the best nights of my life for sure. I only knew one person here before we started out that night. We kept gaining friends and following one big impulse on where to go/what to do. What you see here was a smoke break that turned into a 40+ minute acapella jam session.
Fun!

It’s wild to me how much wisdom is out there..but how we’re totally naive to it until we feel it for ourselves.
I think we take for granted the fact we don’t just come out of the womb knowing everything about everything..
When quotes have inspired me to follow some intuition or taken me to some new understanding of the world, I’ve made an effort to write them down. It seems like time to start sharing some of them. I hope they might inspire someone else struggling to make sense of all this chaos we think we understand so well.
