OFF THE MAP

Explore with me

When I was young, we would go on trips throughout Texas. Sometimes the maps we had didn't have all of the roads so our parents would say we're "off the map."

This site is a space for me to talk about the things I don't usually get a chance to say out loud. A space that I can explore myself and how I feel about what's happening around me. I might start down one road and end up in a whole new place - we're going off the map!
