Erratus is the Latin word for “Wander” which means to “move about aimlessly or without any destination”.

In life we endlessly travel. We travel from our Home to a certain destination be it in school or at work. We constantly travel from one place to another. Everyday we need to be brave we need to have no fear for fear hold us back from everything. Thus, moving without any destination is to travel without fear and hesitation because life is too short to stay in one place.
