Whereabouts

If you don't want anyone to know what is going on with you each day when you go outside.


To keep it a secret is not to post it in your social media and keep it to yourself when you end up having a phone call.

There comes a time in our life we want to keep in the dark where we don't want anyone to know where we are and what we have been doing.

We distance ourselves to the life of social media keep us away.

If you haven't heard from someone only means they have kept themselves offline and they may have a plateful to do on their daily lives.

Being locked up in our homes gives us time to catch up with our medical needs and doing errands to prepare ourselves for an upcoming trip.

You come from hearing from your friends when you go outside why you didn’t take me along.

Sometimes you want to be alone when you're outside giving free will not to entertain other people who are with you.
