I Need an Adventure

F**k it.
I need an adventure.
Im so sick of all the babies.
Im so sick of all the engagements, marriages and mortgages.
Im so sick of the desk jobs and 40 hour work weeks.
Is that all that there is?
Really?

I need an adventure.
I want to hike in the mountains and swim in the ocean.
I want to climb rocks and trees.
I want to wear my swimsuit all day on a beach.
I want to sit quietly for hours in a beautiful international place.
Is that too much to ask?
Is it?

I need an adventure.
Im so sick of losing close friends to the "grind".
Im so sick of time passing without doing anything.
Im so sick of always having to stay "connected".
Do we have to live like this?
Really?

I need an adventure.
I want to have stories to tell.
I want to re-connect with old friends and never lose contact.
I want to come and go as I please without ties.
Why can't it be that easy?
Why not?

I need an adventure.
Maybe the reason I take adventures is to disconnect and connect. Disconnect from the world of glowing light and connect to what is truly important, interaction with those who give you your own glowing light. Adventures help you to realize what is important in your life and not regret anything. Adventures help one to remember that even though time passes and things change, its ok because life is still going and good things are to come. Exciting, fun things! I try to be supportive of peoples decisions to not adventure and "settle down". I try so hard but there is so much adventuring that needs to be done and so little time to do it. Im done. I need an adventure to get away, and I need it now.

Red = Passion

Yesterday, I had a shit-eating grin as I was winding through local streets, pedaling and feeling the warm breeze in my hair. I recently, in the last month, moved to the DC area and have been struggling to fit in and find my place. This month, Ty and I got our own room in a place that we share with a few others that are our roommates in our new town. But there are still so many things that are missing in my life. I need yoga, rock climbing and freedom to get around on my own. On Tuesday afternoon, I took that first step at transportation freedom in the form of a two wheeled vehicle. I took the metro to Virginia which is a bit of a ride from my new home on the Maryland side. I stopped at one of the last metro stops and walked out into the sunny, nice weather. I was meeting someone from craigslist who was selling a little, red Schwinn bike. I exited the station and immediately saw the little red bike being held up by a sweet looking, older man. I introduced myself, took the bike for a...

Guatemala: Day One Adventure

The following is a conglomeration of journal writings that I made about my travel day to San Marcos, Guatemala and some additions to make it all run together smoothly: 11/5/15 6:60am Chicago I JUST made my first flight. It helped that the dude behind me in the security line was on my flight. We chatted a bit about travel and it eased my mind a little. I get so stressed out when Im not early... I had to take the earliest bus from Milwaukee at 4:30 am. I slept three hours. 10:55am ATL I think I smell... I didn't do that deodorant thing this morning. Whatever. I had less than an hour layover and had to run through the huge ATL airport to get to my gate. I got there with a bit of time though which is nice. Im between two not so fun humans. One is a very large man who thinks he can have half of my seat (though at least he seems nice) and an older woman who I don't think speaks good spanish or engligh. Also, when she's passed out its fine but as soon as she wakes up, the ...

Best Friends

I swear that I have the best friends on the planet and I know everyone is jealous. But Ill share them! Last night I went to Milwaukee to see a friends band play on Water St. It took a lot of energy to leave the house. Oh, how I wanted an early evening and to cuddle up in bed with a good book. We all know that those end up being the best nights out, when it was hard to get out in the first place! There ended up being a huge group of us. Ive always wanted a large group of friends and now Ive got it. And even more friends around the world. I can't believe how awesome that is and how awesome they all are! Anyway... We pretty much took over the dance floor with our crazy moves. It was so fun! I got a text from my mom saying that I should just stay in Milwaukee considering the bad roads after the first snowfall. I didn't argue. On the hike back to the apartment after the show, there was snow everywhere and it was cooold. Thank goodness my friends are so great and threw snowba...
