Tom and Ariel quit their Route 66 trip a week early—and discovered that the real goal was never finishing perfectly. A reflection on detours, changing plans, and how easy it is to chase the wrong objective without realizing it.

Spencer reflects on failure, self-worth, and the exhausting pile of “shoulds” many people live under—and how redefining success helped him find more freedom, peace, and joy.
