This is where I am hiking right now, you know, just in case I end up lost or injured or kidnapped or something.

Now that I’m a grown up, I don’t have to check in with my mom with everything that I do. I still feel like I need to. I guess I’ll just keep checking in with the Internet. It’s like I have a million moms all over the world to check in with. Somehow that’s comforting to me. At least the Internet knows where I am…
