I am a human who needs equal doses of adventure and alone time. I think it's a nice balance, but not everyone can do both.
I've attempted synergy with people who are ALL adventure ALL the time. They're really fun! (Until I drop from exhaustion trying to keep up with their nonstop crazy lifestyle.)
On the other end of the spectrum I've also tried dating bland uncurious people who never leave their comfort zones, wasting their entire lives rotting away behind television screens. Yawn.
I'd be satisfied with even 10% adventure, 90% chilling, but when I adventure I want to A D V E N T U R E .
I want to get my hands dirty. I want to climb pyramids, get lost in unfamiliar places, dance on stage in front of 10,000 people, sunbathe nude by a river, make out in church, swim with turtles, do mushrooms in the forest, climb trees, or do an 11 hour road trip with strangers in Mexico. When I'm in adventure mode, I DO NOT want to fuck around with anyone who limits my freedom.
The caveat about adventure is that I don't want to be the one always needing to initiate it. I love it when I'm on the same page as an adventure buddy, when we're not necessarily seeking out adventure, but it happens naturally because we are both OPEN to whatever comes our way. That's how the magic happens. It can't be forced.
But when I've had my adventure fix, and I'm bathing in the afterglow, I need to go home and recharge and nourish my body. (So that I can go out and adventure again when the mood arises again.)
Is anyone else like this? (And if so, can we be friends?)
