Adventure

I find the lack of good adventure quotes disturbing. (Yes, I will bend Star Wars quotes to my will)

So, I’ve been thinking a lot lately. About anything and everything, as I always do. I’ve come to a conclusion, one that I’ve lived by for sometime without naming it. Adventure is what makes life worth living. Now, define adventure. Well, it can be anything really, from reading a book to climbing a mountain. It doesn’t even have to be something new to you. If you liked it the first time, why not try the same adventure twice? All that matters is that it gets you excited. Adventure fuels the fires of passion.

The reason I bring this up is, for one, to share a philosophy, and two, I’ve been ignoring this philosophy lately. I’ve let my life slip into an inane, melancholy, monotony. It’s been lame as hell and I’m tired of it.

I have had adventures this week sure. Helping the drama kids out with the scaffolding was definitely an adventure. Getting lost with Kara while we were supposed to go to Scott’s Reservoir was hilarious. I loved those moments, but I’ve had things in my way that have prevented me from fully appreciating life like I used to.

Anyway, all that is over. I’m ready for life again. I am tired of feeling awful, I choose to be happy. I choose to live.
