Living an average life has been the most frustrating part of my time lately, and by average I mean following an unchanging schedule. There is no thrill quite like discovering something new everyday. I used to spend my weekends hopping from country to country, seeing the Eiffel tower one week then Tower Bridge the next, and now here I am, hardly able to find a movie that can make me sit still for over an hour. My desire to continue traveling, along with my restlessness, equal one conflicted self.
But I refuse to let my dwindling financial situation keep me from having adventures. So let this be a declaration to challenge myself. A challenge to discover things even in my own community- to find new cafes or read books in different parks. I can’t and won’t let myself live an average life, because I don’t have it in me anymore. Traveling abroad has given me an adrenaline rush that I’m afraid can’t be acquired any way else, but sitting around won’t help ease the withdrawals.
So it’s time to hold myself accountable. Enough taking naps and more reading books. Time to finally learn how to surf or at least attempt to do so. Start taking advantage of my zoo membership and spend time with the elephants I love so dearly. Go to the gym, run, jump, play, whatever it is just be active. Stay up late watching movies with friends instead of staying up late mopping around. Drive to a new part of the city and find joy in getting lost. Look up from the screen, and notice the vast Pacific Ocean in front of my eyes. It’s time to live an extraordinary life.
