Curious fact: Most criminals don’t return to the scene of the crime — except arsonists. Arsonists find it difficult to resist doubling back, often showing up in photos taken of crowds gathered at the remains of buildings they set alight. Point is, I’ve been listening to too many crime podcasts. Also, that statistic is weirdly poetic?

All it takes is faith, trust, and comfy socks. ✨

Walking through the city on a good day, when the sun's just right, and the clock isn't after you🚶‍♀️🍃🌤️ 

 When a character first shows up in a story all black and blue and covered in bandages, it must mean he's super cool and will drop some WISDOM. 😎🎤
