The Solace of Reaching

​In the style of the Vlogbrothers' "Thoughts from Places" series, I proudly present:
The Solace of Reaching: Thoughts In-Between Places in France & Italy,
or, an endeavor to summarize my philosophy of self-improvement, an idea that plays a huge role in my next book.

"Reaching," much like "becoming" has this connotation of arrival, or end. The solace I'm referring to comes not by reaching a destination, but by reaching towards something better. "Approaching" is a word with a better-fitting definition, but "reaching" is more poetic and sounds better, so bare with me.

In short/TL;DR: Don't try to be perfect. Try to be better.
