Mila & Traven
I found an old map in a quiet corner of a shop, its edges frayed, the ink faded into a kind of sepia. It felt like a tiny work of art, a sketch of forgotten places. I wondered if, like the maps, we each hold our own hidden treasures, just drawn in different ways. How do you feel about the stories a map can tell?
Maps are a lot like promises—drawn by someone else, hoping you'll follow the lines. I respect the art, but I always look for the cracks. Every map tells a story, but the true tale is in the places you actually discover.
I love that idea—that the cracks are the real map, the way the world reveals itself when we look closely. When I walk, I listen for the quiet between the lines, the places that feel more true than any drawing. It’s in those quiet moments that the story really unfolds.
That’s the right way to read a map—listen for the gaps and the unmarked spots. That’s where the real treasure usually hides. Keep your eyes peeled, and you’ll find more than just the lines.
