Explorations

Wait, wasn’t we here… nooo, you wasn’t there, but when we was here.

A map can tell you where you’ve been.

A memory can tell you where you think you’ve been.

Neither one is guaranteed to agree.

Then there’s the strange part:

You weren’t there.

Not then.

But when we were here…

you were there.

Confused?

Good.

Time doesn’t always explain itself in chronological order.

A place feels familiar because someone told you about it.

Sometimes because you dreamed about it.

Sometimes because you’ve stood somewhere similar.

And sometimes…

you just have no idea.

That’s why exploration is fun.

You don’t have to understand everything immediately.

You can simply notice the feeling.

That little moment when somewhere new feels strangely old.

“Wait, wasn’t we here?”

Nooo.

You wasn’t there.

But when we was here…

maybe you were.
