We canโt always go on these epic journeys, but we always want to do epic things.
What is epic?
What is adventurous?
What do these things even mean anymore?
I think we place a lot of pressure on ourselves to do the most ambitious thing possible because of social media, because this is something I think others think is cool or because we want to impress our friends or family.
(Did this adventure really happen if it wasn't social media worthy?)
WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT!
I think adventure can be something as easy as trying a new restaurant, it be something as simple as reading a book. It can be something as wholesome as bringing a significant other family member or stranger to a place you have already been.ย
That, I would challenge, is what I consider adventurous. The idea of going on an adventure can be something that is new to you or someone else.ย
I think we normally associate adventure with high risk actions like skydiving or scuba diving or going on a roller coaster or taking a race car on a track going 200 miles an hour, but something has equally as adventurous is trying a new food you never have before or meeting someone of a different culture or heritage as you.
You don't necessarily have to go to a new destination only to be adventurous. You could experience a new piece of culture, a different heritage than what you're used to. I think that, that is adventurous. That could be considered an adventure.
