10.8.19 // Anticipation Part II

This is a big week, part II...
.
Continued words from @jedidiahjenkins.

“The routine is the enemy of time, it makes it fly by.
.
When you're a kid everything is astonishing, everything is new. So your brain is awake and turned on so every passing second your brain is learning something new, learning how the world works so the muscle of your brain is activated.
.
As you get older, your brain has figured out the patterns of the way the world works. This is how you make money, this is how you graduate school, this is how you get a mortgage, this is how you have kids. I've got that on lockdown. I know my car, I know how to go to work every day, I know how to check out. All these things.
.
Once your brain has established a routine. It stops. The alertness goes away. The fascination with the way the world works goes away...
.
and I think that's what travel in general does, it wakes up your brain..."
