I am craving an adventure.

It's not even so much the adventure, I think.

I just want to feel alive.
I just want to be connected.
Not just to the internet, or my cell phone, or the endless amounts of homework I have, or my job.

These things are all great and nice, but sometimes I just forget what it feels like to sit in the grass.

I forget what it's like to spend an entire day outdoors, just soaking in the sunshine and forgetting time and gadgets and responsibilities.

I forget what it's like to hold a child and make them laugh.

I forget what it's like to see a smile form on a friend's face and engage in deep, beautiful conversation.

I forget the bigger picture.
That it's not about all these "responsibilities" and "obligations" I have. It's not about the homework, not about going through the motions, not about "connecting with people through our endless technologies."

It's about the things that are right in front of you. It's about finding the life in every moment.
I don't want this life to just rush through my fingertips.
I want to milk it for everything its worth.
I've gotta stop forgetting these things!
