Earlier that summer, a mentor’s words had echoed in my mind, urging me to embrace the unexpected, yet I had dismissed them in favor of my neatly drawn plans. As I reflected on missed opportunities, like a spontaneous road trip with friends that I had turned down, I began to grasp how fear had kept me anchored in the familiar, denying me the thrill of adventure. The shimmering horizon ahead seemed to whisper promises of unfulfilled potential, inviting me to cast aside my reservations and dive into the unknown. In that twilight moment, a realization dawned: the greatest stories lie not in certainty, but in the courage to embrace life’s delightful surprises.
