ENG 287 Project
At the age of 22, he left everything behind and hiked in to the wilderness to live a life of solitude.
He saw a lot of beautiful things and wrote about them.
You could say he was a little crazy, but very brave. (Maybe a lot of crazy.)

So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future.
I could not stop thinking about the words, They are conditioned to a life of security And how they applied to everyone. Even little girls.

In order to avoid being mediocre, you have to step out of your comfort zone. Change is necessary. Change brings personal growth, flexibility, improvements, life values, strength, progress, opportunities, new beginnings as well as a replacement in the routines followed.
Sometimes this change is scary. It is unknown. It is your monster. But thats okay.
Because a life of monotony is a waste of adventure.
Because a life of monotony is a waste of growth.
Because a life of monotony is a waste of greatness.
