Your 20’s are your ‘selfish’ years. It’s a decade to immerse yourself in every single thing possible. Be selfish with your time, and all the aspects of you. Tinker with shit, travel, explore, love a lot, love a little, and never touch the ground.
— Kyoko Escamilla (via quotethat)

The tram remains my favourite way of getting around the city by public transport. But perhaps the 19th century version is not quite so comfortable as the 21st century alternatives. 

It pisses me off that I cannot have parallel lives where I pursue all the careers that pique my interest.

Time is so limiting, being a single person is so limiting. 

I am a fickle person, greedy and eager to experience it all but unable (or perhaps, unwilling) to settle down for fear of missing out on another opportunity.

If you think adventure is dangerous, try routine; it is lethal.
