WalkinChuck

Been thinking about this quote, a bit obsessively, for too long now.

“In the worship of security we fling ourselves beneath the wheels of routine-and before we know it our lives are gone.”

― Sterling Hayden, Wanderer

I have no desire to be on my deathbed and regretting not doing the wandering that my everything so desires.
