So I used to live by my Google calendar. You know what I’m talking about, right? Those color-coded blocks stretching across hours and days. Purple for travel = new adventures planned. Red for birthdays. Yellow for holidays.

And I thought THAT was my life. The trip to Boston. The California vacation next month. Time was just... the stuff between destinations. The boring parts you endure until the next Instagram-worthy moment.

But here’s the thing: I was completely wrong about where life actually happens.
