October Writing Prompt #7: Begin

Hello, friends. Tanner's prompt for today is Begin.

You may have figured this out already, but just in case I haven't made it clear: I am a huge Pokemon nerd. I started out playing Pokemon Red on my Gameboy Advance when I was a kid and now I still spend hours on my 3DS, immersing myself in the Pokemon universe.

By far, my favorite part of every Pokemon game I've ever played is the beginning. I love choosing my name and appearance and starter Pokemon. I love the feeling of starting a new adventure. It's such an energizing, motivating, thrilling feeling. 

At the beginning of Pokemon Red, right before you can start to play the game, one of the characters says this iconic line:

"Your very own Pokemon legend is about to unfold! A world of dreams and adventures with Pokemon awaits! Let's go!"

Wouldn't that be a great way to begin every day? Minus the Pokemon parts, of course (although I would not object to more Pokemon in my everyday life). You could wake up each morning and say to yourself,

"Your very own legend is about to unfold! A world of dreams and adventures awaits! Let's go!"

It doesn't matter what our day holds. Whether it's the first day of vacation or the five-hundredth day of work, whether we'll be cooped up in our house or out and about, it's an adventure. If we look at it that way, what could change?

Stay tuned for October 22nd: The Future.
