Life as an Adventure: Rediscovering the Magic of Going Out
Once, long ago—or maybe not so long ago—I wandered freely. I roamed bookstores and coffee shops, slipped into poetry readings where no one knew my name, and sat alone in dimly lit theaters, watching stories unfold in the dark. I loved it. The quiet thrill of stepping into the unknown, the way the world crackled with possibility.
And then, somewhere along the way, I stopped.
Maybe it was life. Maybe it was fear. Maybe it was the slow, creeping voice that whispered, You shouldn't go alone. It’s not safe. It’s not right. You don’t belong there by yourself. Maybe it was Rageroo and the way he clipped my wings, piece by piece, until I forgot I’d ever had them.
But wings remember.
Lately, I’ve been venturing out again—not to grand quests or far-off lands, but to small things. A coffee shop where I sit and people-watch, letting the hum of conversation wrap around me like an old song. An open mic night, where words tumble from strangers’ lips and remind me of the power of a story well told. An art party, where colors clash and wine flows and everyone, for a few shimmering hours, becomes their most vibrant self.
And here’s what I’ve learned: everything is an adventure if you let it be.
Going to an art exhibit alone, standing in front of a piece that stirs something in you? That’s an adventure. Hiking a trail you’ve never walked before, listening to the crunch of leaves under your boots? An adventure. Saying yes to a last-minute invite, stepping into a room full of unfamiliar faces, feeling that electric charge of who will I meet tonight?—a most delicious adventure.
The world is waiting. It always was. It was only me who hesitated, who forgot how to reach for it.
So I’m falling in love again—with the city, with the night, with the quiet hum of being utterly, unapologetically myself. With wandering. With wondering. With remembering that I don’t need permission to step out the door and into possibility.
Because life is an adventure, whether it’s a grand sweeping journey or simply the act of reclaiming the things you once loved. And I am here for it.
Are you?
