135. detours

Taking the road less traveled can make all the difference. By exploring new avenues we gain more knowledge about our place in the world and how to move through it more effectively. And yet, the road less traveled may not be what we think. For some, it will be the dirt road with an undefined destination, and for others, a clearly marked highway paved with intention. The road less traveled is simply the one we travel the least. A necessary detour to reset our common approach. The extroverted person may best be served by disconnecting with the world for a while by staying in and reading a book, while the introverted person may benefit from engaging with the world and gaining a new perspective. Some of us need to get out. Some of us need to stay in. But we all need to take a detour sometimes.
