I want to go places only boats or helicopters or a dive master can take me. I want to ride the rails of trains pulling more than cargo. I want to climb the depths of the world’s basement. I want my world turned on its side. I want to slide down altitude in the hundreds. I want to rest my eyes on vegetation only dinosaurs could enjoy as reality. I want to taste adventures so succulent that I’ll question what I’ve known before. I want to acknowledge ruled lines and then write to the rhythm of my flow. I want to delve head-first into the unknown; swim with the sharks of fear, dream with the poets of the hills, and create with the crafters of imagination. Sail with captains of liberty waves and peddle with cyclers I want the love of Christ to radiate through the ringlets of curls flowing off my head. I want, but will I ever seek it? Transportation to your aspirationsCan you get there by subway or bus, train or shuttle, Uber or airplane? Can you arrive by "faith, trust, and just a little bit of pixie dust?" Can dates take you there? Can a collection of hugs or grandma’s chocolate chip cookies take you there? Reading can but those destinations aren’t tangible. So don’t ask for permission or forgiveness just take the adventures you lust after. Dates take you on an emotional adventure, delving into commonalities and testing compatibility. Dates don't have to solely consist of dinner and a movie or the mundane "Netflix and chill." You deserve more, so fight for it. One of your commonalities has got to be adventure in some fashion, so hone in on it and set a date! Cruising the waves with a fluffy friend-- now THAT'S a date. Dates are for learning new things; not just about each other, but about the colossal world around you. How do you expect to truly get to know someone if you do not see how they react to certain situations or environments? Different cultures, trying new foods, walking instead of driving 16 blocks; try them and a new city out at the same time. Little Havana offered signature mojitos, Cuban sandwiches stacked high, hand-perfected art, checker tournaments, and cultural music at every corner. It made me wanna sing, "Havana oooo na-na; half of my heart is in Havana..." Set realistic expectations for first dates. Just because you're broadening your horizon of the date's location, it is still a first date after all. Two different people that have lived their entire life not knowing the other existed and then setting out for two or more days within a very close proximity is going to be an adjustment. Not always a bad one, but bring your flexibility and level-headed potions. Just because you're visiting "the happiest place on earth" doesn't mean you'll be the happiest you've ever been. Take it for what it is and soak up the memories and adventures away from home.
