What does “wild” mean?

The word wild, according to its paper definition, is one of a variety of things. Some believe it to be a description of the uninhabited and naturalistic aspect of physical life, think forests, caves, and other biomes that have not really been touched by humans. Others see the word as a description to express something, whether it be living or not, and it being undomesticated or untamed. That definition although can be seen as similar to the first, also accounts for the worlds living creatures. Lastly wild can be seen to some as a state of panic, or nervousness, positive or negative, wild is someone that is out of their comfort zone. 

   That third definition is one which I can agree with the most. I see the word wild and immediately think of being out of my element, but in a good way. I like using the word wild when describing someone that is consistently proving that they are not going to let anything stop them. Connect that with the second definition, it’s someone that lives untamed, not letting anyone restrain your beliefs or your actions. Being “Wild” should not be something a person should be ashamed of being. It is them breaking what is normal or “normality.” Its people and experiences that get described as wild or crazy, that type of person or place or adventure is what is sticking in other people’s heads. So “wild” as much as it is the scary uninhabited, untamed, and undiscovered, is also an opportunity to find or experience something new.
