I just got home from camping for 3 days in the Poconos. Last time I went camping, I was convinced to accompany my ex to go visit her high school friend’s camp site since it was her birthday. I’m an outdoorsy kind o’ gal, so I went. Oddly enough, almost an entire year later I went camping with a group of girls whom I haven’t known all that long.
Proved to be an amazing time hands down. We hiked 5 miles (!), saw the falls, fished, cooked, laughed (until we cried) and exchanged a lot of great stories. We played so much beer pong last night that we (really just Lisa and myself) destroyed a total of 36 beers IN ONE NIGHT. I’m not including the rum I occasionally sipped on between games. Even though lately, for the past few months I haven’t exactly had the desire to drink - I’m making an exception for the few parties, etc, that are being thrown for me since so many changes are happening in my life right now. It’s bittersweet, it’s awesome, it’s a roller coaster ride but the sweet smell of summer has me pretty optimistic - and I missed that feeling. Last summer was so untouchable, and when everything went south I felt like I had been ripped off by life big time. But I have solid life plans, things are moving in a positive direction, I care LESS about stupid things that I can’t control and MORE about things that are important - like my career, how I want to live my life, things I want to do/say to enhance my integrity and overall feelings.
I still don’t really write anymore. I feel like it’ll be awhile until I get back into that. I might give it a shot at the end of June. I might not. Being able to get behind the lens, leave a lot of really stressful and emotionally tiring/trying things out of my line of focus is going to be such a relief.
I have things I need to do before the big day. I’m looking forward to the good times that are about to happen, and there will be many. Happy Memorial Day weekend everyone, I’ll be seeing you soon!
