“Date someone who is a home and an adventure all at once.”

I woke up this morning feeling blah. While lying in bed, trying to talk myself into getting up and making coffee, I opened the Photo App on my iPhone. I scrolled back July 15, 2016 (the first photo saved on my iPhone) and spent most of the morning enjoying my rewind of the last four and a half years.

To me, home is safe. Home is comfortable. Home is where you can be yourself. Home is warm. Home is magical. Home is memories. Home is love. Home is family. Home is security. Home is life. Home is refuge. 

Now replace the word “Home” with “Adventure” …

To me, adventure is safe. Adventure is comfortable. Adventure is where you can be yourself. Adventure is warm. Adventure is magical. Adventure is memories. Adventure is love. Adventure is family. Adventure is security. Adventure is life. Adventure is refuge. 

Now replace the word “Adventure” with “Jimi” … 

To me, Jimi is safe. Jimi is comfortable. Jimi is where you can be yourself. Jimi is warm. Jimi is magical. Jimi is memories. Jimi is love. Jimi is family. Jimi is security. Jimi is life. Jimi is refuge.

Now you can understand why I “Date someone who is a home and an adventure all at once.”
