Lately I've had this itch for adventure.
Several times this past month I caught myself feeling bored and I felt surprisingly convicted and confused after admitting that I was bored. There is definitely something to this post-college transition. Walking away from the comfortable structure created by public educators and into the intimidating realm of the REAL world makes you feel weird emotions and think challenging thoughts but I never once expected to be bored and something about it just didn't sit right with me.
I'm 23. I'm healthy, happy and the world is at my finger tips.... Bored shouldn't even be in my vocabulary. But one thing I've realized lately is that an extraordinary life doesn't just happen to you. No one is lucky enough to wake up one day and be enthralled by every ordinary part of their day-to-day at least not that I know of.
To live an extraordinary life, you have to work for it. You have to be intentional about the things that you do and the perspective you have when you do those things in order to keep the fire of inspiration alive in your heart. So I'm trying to track down those sources of inspiration for myself; those things that make me feel alive.. and then be more intentional about incorporating them into my life.
And lets be real. There is nothing more inspirational than long heart-to-hearts with a friend and taking in all of God's beauty. So today I convinced a sweet friend to go on an adventure with me. We walked the coast, drank some amazing lattes, perused a ton of adorable boutiques and talked about Jesus, Life and endless questions for hours.
It was the best kind of fellowship and I couldn't have felt less "bored" if I tried and for that I am forever grateful.
Love you sunshine!
