Space and distance are relative: a drive up to the city can seem short or far, depending on one’s mood and perspective. Same reason why the way back always feels faster.

What I’ve come to realize is it feels better with your tribe, no matter the distance. Making the effort to spend time with them pays dividends in the future.

In the modern world we don’t always live close to our families, but we can also conquer distance. It’s our choice, how to spend the time given to us.
