the fannypack diaries: adventure

"Adventure is a path. Real adventure--self-determined, self-motivated, often risky--forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the Earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of human kind--and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black and white."

Nothing will ever again be black-and-white.
