Being a Writer, Adventurer and Craving a Mentor

Free Bohemian Fly,Inspiration,Travel

“Never stop looking for what’s not there.”
My favorite line of Monte Wildhorn, a character played by Morgan Freeman in the movie The Magic of Belle Isle when he’s saying goodbye to the girl he’s been mentoring as a writer. All kinds of yes.

Of course it related to me as a writer but also as a dreamer and adventurer. Experience is teaching me, as it eventually teaches most, that many of the most amazing experiences are further down the path of where we start. So yes, I do need to keep looking and doing if I want to stay on the path where the magic lives.

Back to what Monte said, I’ve always craved a mentor. As much as I wish it to be a person in the flesh, I have only found small moments through the arts and different communities; never a specific person. I have had to become my own mentor for that, something that both saddens and makes myself proud. Now that I am finally living a full life that is true to myself instead of the life other people told me to live, I am finding communities I have more in comment with and am optimistic about what is to come. I am finding support, learning and finding a flow that is leading me to the place I want to be. Good or bad, I am a writer. Easy or doing it hard way, I am a traveler and adventurer. I am doing it and have made it my life, therefore I am. For now, that will have to be enough.

Me yapping about being a writer and adventurer while on a hike in the woods.
