Random question. Have you ever been lost in a new city clutching your phone like it's the last

chocolate chip cookie at a birthday party? Yeah, me too. It's okay. And yes, I'm going somewhere with this. Please stick with me.

Google Maps can often be our best friend, right? It's funny how much we take it for granted.

It's guiding us through streets that look like they were named

by someone just randomly throwing scrabble tiles on a board.

But here's the thing.

Be it Google Maps or Ways or Apple Maps, pick your fancy. But today, we're just going to stick with Google

as it's just easier. So Google Maps is fantastic, right, for helping us navigate through those

perhaps unfamiliar streets, avoiding traffic jams and even suggesting the best pit stop for a cup of coffee.

It's like that reliable friend that's a local,

someone who always knows the ways around and even some shortcuts that only the natives know.

But what about the winding alleys of our emotions?

You know, those inner roads that don't necessarily have clear signs

or even stoplights at all to guide us.

The ones where you can easily find yourself at a dead end of confusion or just circling the roundabout

of self-doubt. We've all been there. So if that's the case, who's our Google Maps

for our emotions? Is there an app that can reroute us when we're stuck in the traffic jam of our own

anxieties or guide us smoothly through the one-way streets of bad relationships? It's a deep

question, right? Because while technology has obviously advanced leaps and bounds and helping us

navigate the physical world.

The emotional world is just a place we often find ourselves on a map, stranded even.

And that's where our compass comes in.
