108 things (2)
The last time I wrote a post like this was in October — right when summer was finally over, autumn was coming into full force, and I apparently was in love with 108 things. So I thought it would a fun thing to do again. To remember all the other things I love. 108 more of them, in fact.

And we travel, in essence, to become young fools again- to slow time down and get taken in, and fall in love once more.”
