Escape

[littlemissbjork]

As a younger child, I used to wish for a situation where I’d be in the middle of nowhere with a bunch of people I wanted to know, I hoped that it’d be some sort of confusing experience so no one would know how to get home just yet, they’d have to get to know me first before leaving wherever the middle of nowhere was.

(Strange wish but back then that was my solution to getting to know people when I felt too anxious)

Although I’ve grown with a fear of my appearance, I’m glad I’ve found my appreciation of my individuality and similarities to people.

I wanted to make this post to appreciate a camp memory, camp has never failed in making life feel like a dream for me.

Just a walk felt like the most beautiful thing to me that day, there were multiple activities going on at all different far journeys of the field. Swimming/Boat riding, Deer skinning, Fire making

I was curious to see what the deer looked like after death, Daniel told me that the reason it was brought for us to see (if wanted), was to be aware of what we eat since it’s quite avoided in everday life. I got the chance to stroke the deer, thank you it felt like.

A boy who was supposed to be in my age group but put in the one below because of the slight earlier school year was at this activity.

We started a bit of small talk and then he asked exactly what I was thinking, “do you want to see the other activity near the other site”,

It was fairly sunny for the while, we walked through a bunch of long grass and talked.

I usually get a bit unsettled when talking with people, well it depends on the person

But talking didn’t feel like talking, it just felt right, I wasn’t even thinking about it like I always did.

The conversation was a way of bringing back memories of days I had forgotten temporarily too.

We talked so much and ended up going the wrong way after all that walking, I slightly remembered the way to the right site though so we headed there and got hungry on the way,

We found where a lot of the cars were parked and by them was like 30 packets of white bread, he opened them and asked me if I wanted one, I was criticising just eating plain bread but on the way back I ended up eating a piece haha.

It was a bit pesky to carry so we left it in a bush with the perfect hole for it.

He mentioned a bunch of sports/activities he had done and I related, apart from boat paddling, maybe surfing he mentioned? I was really intrigued by the way he talked about all of it, sounded like he had some really good days on holiday.

I got a bit frightened whilst walking up a narrow rocky hill that the pathfinders (older group) previously used for nightgames (sort of camp halloween), then we both heard a big bang so we walked towards it and we found the swimming activity. Someone tried building a fire on rock so it exploded, never knew that to happen until then.

There was a small boat ride and I wanted to go on it so much, we both got on and he paddled. We were in a small lake and it started to pour rain but it was rather beautiful how the rains drops hit the water we were on.

After that we got off and walked back, talking about the food we like.

Parted ways after watching people make dream catchers, I really liked that part of the day.

For the last part, the staff had asked if what our magic moment of the day was, I really wanted to mention the walk with him but I thought it would be strange so I said the double rainbow.. Liar!

He came to our group fire on the last day and the camp staff asked us once again what our magic moment was for any day of camp, this time I vaguely said the boat ride and he mentioned it too :) That little comment made me feel happy, I was happy to share that walk with him.

The pictures are a bit of a reminder of what the walk looked like to me.
