The odds of being born are about one in 400 trillion.

Ever observe people in love?
Their love spills onto everything, right? They'll love up the store clerk. They'll love up the rainy day. They'll even love up the traffic!

This is when you need a reminder to stay strong, to keep going despite the roadblocks you encounter.

By definition, to explore is "to travel in or through". Exploration can take place without, through transcendent woodlands and along the cobblestoned roads of rustic villages.
