Lunch - ritz crackers & cheese
Dinner - hopefully McDougal's fried chicken
Unexplored
I do this thing where I leave certain things untouched and unexplored.
I love exploring. I think most people would agree. The whole exploration thing is about delving into the unknown and discovering something new. Who doesn’t want to do that? But you have to admit, half the fun of exploring is just the excitement you get from the anticipation of the potential opportunity at hand.
Have you ever gotten ready for an adventure and been uber thrilled to do this thing, only to be let down by the actual exploration? “Man, this trail looked so promising. Kind of bummed it didn’t really lead anywhere.” Maybe you have, maybe you haven’t, but hopefully you get the point.
For me, I intentionally leave certain things unexplored because I'd rather hold onto the excitement of possibility than experience the disappointment of certainty.
I'm guilty of building things up to be perfect in my mind. I want to believe in perfection and I want to hold onto perfection. Leaving things unexplored is how I maintain this perfection.
You don’t explore it because if you did you’d find out that it’s not right; that it's not perfect. It’s the safety net you never want to lose.
