Dear Curiosity,Â
Today I had a horrifying thought! For a moment . . . just a moment, I swear! I imagined what life would be like without you. Forgive me! I beg you! I do not wish it to be so.Â
For as long as I can remember you've been my faithful companion. Together we've seen and done amazing things. It's been magic, I tell you, magic!Â
I don't know what I was thinking! Pondering a life without you is a nightmare! I wish I could go back and undo such dastardly thoughts. Promise me. Promise me you'll always be with me! Don't ever leave my side. I could not bear your absence.Â
How would I learn? How would I discover life's great mysteries, without you? Shudder the thought! Would I even care? I should think not. For without you, how would I form the necessary questions that would lead me to worry over your disappearance? I wouldn't! I'd be nothing more than an aimless ghost. Passing through life blindly. Wholely unaware of the amazing tapestry that life is.Â
No questions. No answers. No discoveries. No friendships. Terrifying! Such a life cannot be!
Promise me, please!Â
I swear it. I swear it with my whole heart. I will never imagine such a thing again!Â
Together we've grown in incredible ways. Everything that makes life fascinating is because of you. I know this to be true!Â
Please don't ever leave me. I love you, Curiosity, I love you! You make life worth living! Your encouragement allows me to soar free! And to live the fullest of lives. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I want to continue asking the deepest of questions. There are still so many places I wish to visit. Foods I'd like to try. People I'd like to meet. Would I even want any of that if I didn't have you?Â
I never want to stop wanting things out of life. I can't wait to see what adventures we get up to. So please, please forgive my transgression. I am ever so grateful to you!Â
Let's continue this epic journey together.Â
Love,Â
Your adoring companion, Tara
