And more please.

What do you do when you read/watch something and you just want so badly to have an adventure like that?

I mean it. really. What are you supposed to do? You're sitting here all inspired and ready to make waves in the world. So much potential energy. And then you just let it all go because you don't know how to find what it is you're looking for. How do we find adventures of epic proportions?

I mean, come on, I have a very vivid imagination and it serves me well but sometimes you just need to get out THERE and make it happen. Things don't always look the same in the real world.

I sit here and try to tell myself that we live for the small little everyday adventures. That we have to see the good in every day. But it's not working!

Now I've seen what's out there and how wonderful it is. All I want to do is go back to it. And more.

So here is my formula for adventure:

1. Good people/friends
2. A new environment
3. An open mind
4. Leave your safety net behind

I think that the most important aspects of an adventure to remember are that you can't feel comfortable and still have an adventure. I believe the two are mutually exclusive. So many people are used to their life of conformity, comfort. Security is monotonous. Step away from the conventional life.

Find it. As much as we wish it would happen, Gandolf is not going to come knocking at our door, begging our pardon as he sweeps us off to adventure.

Remember, the world is on your side. And that it is the unknown that draws us.

And most importantly, NO BOYS ALLOWED...

 Haha jk. They can come.
