Geeking Out

I am a geek. A nerdist. A deep admirer for certain genres. I love superheroes and comic books. I love Sci-Fi/Adventure Books and Movies. 

I'm the guy who reads and discusses movie news about Star Wars Episode VII at least once every two days. I'm the guy who went crazy and saw the final Harry Potter movie 6 times in the theater. I'm the guy who wears superhero t-shirts more than anything else in my wardrobe. 

I'm a nerd. I'm a geek. Whatever you want to call it, I geek out. Hard.

I know this happens to me for a reason beyond the fact that these things are just plain epic on all accounts.

The reason is story.

I relish in the story of these characters and the adventures they partake in. In these vast imaginative worlds, I relate to them. I see pieces of myself in them. They make me feel as though I can slay the dragons, fly in to save the helpless and use the force to do good. They make me feel as though every day can be an adventure. Every day can be a chance to seek justice and do what is right. They make me want to dream big.

The problem is, until a recent wake up call, I have often left it at that. I kept dreaming but never did any more. Never sought adventure. Never fought for justice.

I geeked out over these fictional tales but forgot about the real one I'm living.

Imagine if we geeked out on our own stories. Imagine if we became so passionate about this life and this story that we lived it out like the characters many, like myself, go crazy over.  If we sought adventure. If we fought for justice.

Become a geek. 

Geek out hard if that's what it takes. 

Geek out for the story you've been given as it follows a story greater than yourself. 

Seek justice. Find adventure.

May your life just plain epic on all accounts.
