All roads lead to Rome. Well, almost all of them. The trip to Rome from Siena was over three hours on a bus that made several stops. I became familiar with the route as I had to make the trip to Fiumicino airport a few times. Rome is an incredible city. It reminded me of

Focusing on the present was never my forte. I was too preoccupied by the past or the rapidly approaching future to focus on the present. I made excuses for my past mistakes while making plans for a better future. I was stuck in this dichotomy that was absolutely maddening. I felt lost in the moment.
