I’ve always been smitten with the ending of the cult classic movie Hook, where Robin Williams’ Peter Pan declares at the culmination of his journey, “To live would be an awfully big adventure.”
Never has that truth been more apparent to me than during lockdown and quarantine in early 2020. Day by day I find myself more acutely conscious of what makes life adventurous—the things I truly look forward to. It used to be writing days in a coffee shop, weekend adventures to malls and restaurants, and hanging out with friends.
