I wish my life were an adventure
The idea has crossed my mind ever since we watched Harry Potter, and played Civilization, and watched Lord of the Rings, and played Civilization again, and also thinking back to Star Wars, and even farther back to Star Trek: The Next Generation, that I wished my life were an adventure, an epic, problem solving and mysteries and frontiers to cross and discover. I think the key that brought the world of film and video game fantasy and science fiction together with my real world is Lucky Santangelo and Jackie Collins. I’m seeing that my own life can be such an adventure. And the adventure always starts where I am in this moment. Perhaps Lucky Santangelo started out with the Las Vegas empire in ruins left behind by her father (but not to her). And maybe Jean-Luc Picard started out with nothing but his feisty personallity that got him into a fight that led to him getting an artificial heart. And maybe Jackie Collins started out with nothing but her beauty and the connections of her sister. But they all started the adventures where they were, and arrived in unexpected and amazing places. I’ll do the same.
