Getting lost is a big fear of mine too, Ezra. First, I get panic attacks, then I'm disappointed in myself because I missed out on the event I was going to. I missed out on a lot of things I wanted to do last year because of my fear of getting lost in an unfamiliar place. I don't relax until I see a familiar landmark.

Yeah I almost got lost this morning because I screwed up something small with my commute and ended up in an area I didn't recognize. Thankfully I managed to fix things, but I had a panic attack while I was sorting things out.
