adventure is out there!

I've never been much of a planner.
Thinking through things too much ahead of time stresses me out.
Which is one reason I'm a big fan of ADVENTURES.
Those who know me, 
know this.
If you ask what we're going to do when we hang out,
I'll probably just suggest that we go on an adventure.
To which most people reply,
"And do what?"
No.
The point of an adventure is that you don't KNOW what you're going to do.
You just go with the flow,
let things happen,
and end up wherever you end up.
A GOOD adventure consists of:
good music,
fun people,
long talks,
randomness,
lots of driving,
and most importantly... no plan.
That's what's so great about adventures.
You have no idea what's going to happen.
And it's SO FUN! 
Sometimes it's so much better to just start driving and see where you end up than to plan exactly what you're going to do.
Summers are GREAT for adventures.
I've had some pretty fantastic ones.
Let's adventure sometime?
Anyway.
T minus 32 days.
That's when the biggest adventure of my LIFE is going to start.
Moving away from home,
living on my own,
starting college.
I have NO idea what's going to happen.
I don't know what to expect.
And for once, that thought actually scares me.
I don't have a job.
That scares me the most.
 But I'm trying to calm myself down by telling myself that it's just another adventure.
And it will be GREAT.
Whatever happens,
wherever I end up,
I will be just fine.
So I'm just going to go with the flow,
listen to lots of music,
go on occasional lonely drives,
make new friends,
be my crazy self,
and just let things play out however they're meant to.
All in the spirit of a real adventure.
Cheers!

  1. i love this post!
    i am the exact same way.
    adventures>planning.
    when you plan, you can get let down.
    when you have an adventure, it has no limits.
    love it.
