At ten your world was a few blocks. At twenty it’s a few cities. Your map keeps growing if you let it.

The area you can picture yourself living in keeps expanding, and each expansion comes from going somewhere and finding it ordinary. A few blocks became a few cities because you turned up in them. None of that growth is automatic, though. It stops the moment you stop going places.

Add one place to your map this month, somewhere you have heard of and never been. A train ride, a day with a cousin in another town, a city you have only passed through.
