Adventure FOMO and Reflection

A love letter about all the adventures to me and to you: 

“I promise you, you’re life is just as beautiful and adventure-y as those online. You do enough and get out enough. You are not missing out on your life, its really just started.” 

I always notice social media starts making me do the highlight reel comparison. I look at all the epic things people are doing. I notice all the hikes and beautiful places I have never been. And something about me, there is nowhere I don’t want to go. I want to go everywhere, see everything, and do everything.  

Become a pilot, sign me up. Run a marathon, where do I sign. Do an Ironman, when is it. Ski in Morocco, ill buy my ticket tonight.  

But social media makes me feel like its never enough. Which I find comical because when I scroll through my feed, I see exactly what I see on other peoples pages. Post after post of epic shit in epic places. I am living the life I want and am adventuring at the capacity I have. I am building a life that supports my goals. And that is where it’s at. What I am doing is enough. What I am building is enough. Just because I am intimately acquainted with hardships and highs and lows, doesn’t mean that my highlight reel isn’t any less sweet. Everyone else’s life looks just like mine. The highs, the lows, the ease, the hard. It all exists together. And I was argue that the hard, makes the ease more sweet. 

So much love.
