Chasing Security

Daily writing prompt
Are you seeking security or adventure?

When I saw this question, security was the first thing that came to mind.

I lived a life where I had to worry about where my next meal would come from, worried about where to get my bills, and how I should pay for my education.

If you told me if I ever want to experience that again, you’d be crazy to think I’d say yes.

I missed many opportunities because of the lack of resources I had growing up.

I wished I could’ve played formal sports, gone to a better institution, and worked with finer tech.

There were times where I wished I was born into a better family, but I know it was wishful thinking.

It’s an empty thought, I know. So, I stopped thinking about it because nothing would ever happen.

So, I walked my life today with the full intention of not letting that happen again. I don’t want close to me experience or live through that phase in life.

I vowed to provide the resources for my loved ones, so they could enjoy the real fruits of the world.

This is the adventure I chose. The adventure leads to security. A state in my life I so desired.
