After spending a long time in nature, it stopped being intimidating. It started being calm. The quiet wasn't something I feared anymore. It was something I wanted to cherish.

Tinder's convenience hasn't “converted” anyone into suddenly only wanting one-night stands.

I know, it's Monday. BLECH. But, that also means it's time for #MondaysWithMatt.
