Human relationships are more like a
journey with no particular destination–> only a desire for
adventure. We don’t know where we will go, whom we will meet, what we
will do, or how long it will take. But are confident that the adventure
is worth undertaking. Thus, the end of such a journey or relationship is
not a specific goal, but the adventure of discovery, of persevering
with the journey even though one doesn’t quite know where it is going.

Sitting in Scientific and Philosophical Theories in Psychology (yes I took a class with that title, yes it was awful) last Fall I never thought that I would look back and see this quote so evident in my past, present, and future…
PAST…Do you ever catch yourself looking down the path of your past? There are friendships and relationships in my past that have been great adventures but have come to an end. They have left memories, and imprints, some good and some bad, but seem like they will always be with you. “the end of such a journey or relationship is
not a specific goal, but the adventure of discovery“
PRESENT…Made it to the top where do I go now? The word ADVENTURE has just been playing over and over in my head all summer long. Through the friendships that I’ve made, the things I’ve done. I’ve learned to have fun, to be comfortable with the people I’m around, and not search for an end goal or to have a certain plan. I feel on top of my game! I’ve learned to take each day and step at a time. and Wow, what a struggle it’s been but it’s what it’s going to take for the next 11 months. Somedays I feel like I have to press PAUSE on my life and return in 11 months but instead I need to look at it as my friends and family experience and supporting me through this next chapter and I’m “confident that the adventure (of friendship)
is worth undertaking. “ Adventure is what I’ve been desiring! and I like it, I like it a lot! Come on the adventure with me. 
FUTURE…Ready set jump! Here I go in 12 days I will be diving into new friendships with new people on one of the craziest adventures of my life. Finally I’m at the forefront of the next 11 months with one expectation, that God is going to rock my World. Team Deep Roots “ We don’t know where we will go, whom we will meet, what we
will do, or how long it will take.” but we are doing it and we’re doing it together. Love you guys! Get excited!
Thanks for Reading!
