I’ve always wanted to be spontaneous. I envied people who could just fly by the seat of their pants…just take off for a weekend trip at the last minute or not give a second thought to a complete change in plans. And for a while, I really tried to be like that. But something about it always stressed me out. The idea of throwing clothes in a bag and just taking off makes me shutter. My mind instantly goes to making lists and contemplating all of the loose ends like: will I pack correctly, how long can the plants go without water, etc.
