Adventure.

I wish I could bottle that feeling. You know the one - where you are somewhere new looking at things with a fresh perspective that you'd never thought possible. When you look up and around you, and everything is reborn. It's like, you're just fine in that moment. Content and excited about all of the adventures ahead of you. Even the air feels different in those moments - electric and energized. I remember the very first day I came to this city from the one I'd been living in previously, some 2000 miles away. I had never set foot anywhere near this part of the country, and I was absolutely gobsmacked at how different it was here. How incredibly beautiful it was. I knew the moment I got off that plane that my life had changed forever. I threw everything behind me away and started completely fresh. Hands down, it was the most exhilarating experience of my entire life. I think since then, I have been trying to find ways to cling on to a little bit of that same feeling. I wish that somehow I could experience that sense of wonder again, even if it were only for a moment. Because once you've had something like that, there is just no turning back. I want to see through those eyes once again... I want to go on an adventure... I need it. I absolutely need it...
