Embarrassment is something I was taught to avoid at all costs but as I got older I realized that embarrassment is a highly underrated experience.

When we are embarrassed it means we took a chance. We got up off the couch and got out of our comfort zone. Being embarrassed might not feel comfortable but what it means is significant.

So much of our life passes us by whether we’d like it or not. And when we protect ourselves, when we stay inside our comfort zone, even more of it slips through our fingers.

I’m not saying put yourself in danger but I am saying that really good stories come from saying yes to things even when we think we should say no.

I love to wander.

But the word implies a lack of direction or plan. And that might be true but also it isn’t. Sometimes having no plan is the plan and getting lost is sometimes the only way to find our way.

Exploring the Queen Mary was like getting stuck in a Funhouse. But without the mirrors.

I went to stay two nights at the Queen Mary for my birthday this year. I didn’t realize it was a floating hotel. It was so fun and so expensive. Everything there was in increments of $80.

But.

I had the best night sleep I’ve had in years. Something about the ocean breeze and the ghosts wandering the hallways comforted me.

I went on a walk with my girlfriend. Every plan we made the Universe slapped down. But we yielded. We didn’t fight it. And we had the best time. Sometimes letting go is the best way to move forward.
