I’m eager to talk about all my ideas for Riggs, but we get sidetracked on the hike back to the car. We talk about anything and everything under the sun, except what we’re supposed to be working on. It’s okay, he’s going to be stuck in the car with me soon, and he won’t be able to deflect so easily. It feels like it’s going to be my job to make sure he works on this trip documentary, because he doesn’t seem very excited about the idea of it all. Not that I blame him, putting yourself out there because of your flaws is tremendously hard. The fact that he is even open to this idea makes me in awe of him even more.

The trek back to the car takes us three hours, and we decide to grab an early dinner before figuring out our next stop.

As we sit down and look at the menu at the local restaurant we found, I feel like Riggs knows I want to talk about it and is actively trying to avoid it. Well, too bad. I’m not one that shies away from the hard shit.

“So, I have been thinking about your campaign/documentary and I have some ideas.”

I hear him take a deep breath as he lowers his menu.

“Okay, let’s hear it,” he says cautiously, like he’s afraid I’m going to suggest something completely out of his comfort zone.

It’s not necessarily a physical challenge, but a challenge to check out something new, go somewhere you’ve never been before, basically the definition of adventure.” I look at him expectantly. I don’t want to push him too hard, but I love this idea so much, partially because I feel like he’s already doing this with me. What happens if he’s able to get some actual reach with this concept and changes people’s lives for the better? I’m getting ahead of myself, but I’m really excited about this concept.

“I…I really like it. I thought the hashtag idea was great when you first mentioned it, but now that you’ve explained it more, it makes the most sense. How would we do posts and stuff? Pictures or videos?”

Yes! He likes it!

“What I think would be cool is treating it like a journal. Videos of all the cool shit we find, a little bit about what you learned from the specific place, maybe stylized pictures at the end of every location.” I have so many ideas and thoughts. It’s hard for me to verbalize everything that’s racing through my head right now.

“Are you ready to order?” A voice jolts me out of my excitement. I look up to find the server staring at us. I glance over at Riggs and he gives me a subtle nod, saying he’s ready if I am. I have
