Misha’s “Story”
I blog too much.
Hello all 19 followers !
I’m not even sure how relevant we really are anymore but, oh well, guess who’s back.
And another year goes by...
Sorry for the lack of running this blog. I suppose we all sort of just, got caught up with our lives now. Or at least, I know I have. I’m sure everyone else has, too. Even our Facebook Group Chat isn’t as lively as it used to be (not that I was ever really a chatty one in it).
Anywho, I thought I’d come back to write a little bit since I just had yet another follow-up call with Justin.
It’s been just a little over a year...
I can’t believe over a year ago I attended this amazing camp.
It’s been a really big roller coaster in my life for me since then.
I will be honest and say that I feel like I’ve drifted away from my camp peers as camp became more of a faded memory in the midst of my high school senior year.
I’ve gone through so much high school drama, the college process, club drama, club responsibilities, team responsibilities, and family tensions in the past year. Amazingly, I made it through okay, not necessarily alive, but I made it.
I wanna say it’s because I don’t want to take this camp, or any of the other camps I’ve been to, for granted. I’ve attended 3 leadership camps before Camp MORE. Camp MORE truly helped me to unlock all the skills I’ve learned from the other camps, and I feel like it’s just that little push in the back of my head to keep it going.
I feel kind of far away from my camp peers, despite being in a camp group chat (though it is hardly active lately). I’m okay with that, though.
I’ve come to terms with being able to realize that if anyone was meant to stay close in my life, they would, and if not, they’d slowly or quickly leave, and anything I do to stop them would just be prolonging the inevitable. (This may be a suckish way of thinking, but it’s something I’m comfortable with. My real friends have stayed with me through so much, I feel like it’s something that I accept)
This might be a vague little update, but it’s just to let everyone know Camp MORE is still in all of our hearts and we still think about it.
Wearing what you want is not a privilege afforded only to thin people. Wearing what you want is an important step in self actualization.
Destroy the idea that you should only wear what makes you look conventionally attractive. Wear whatever you want, however you want, no matter how it makes you look.
You are worth more than who you fuck You are worth more than a waistline You are worth more than any naked body could proclaim In the shadows, more than a man’s whim Or your father’s mistake
You are no less valuable as a size 16, than a size 4 You are no less valuable as a 32a than a 36c Your sexiness is defined by concentric circles within your wood Wisdom You are a goddamn tree stump with leaves sprouting out Reborn
Body Love (Pt 1 & 2) – Mary Lambert
I declare this Body positivity day on Camp More blog.
Don’t stand there fussing over your imperfections. You’re imperfections are what make you unique, they’re what make you beautiful. You’re perfectly imperfect. Never give up your imperfections.
Thoughts (via hippie-tranquility)
Growing up, I always had a love for fashion, I frequented fashion blogs quite often. But instead of finding inspiration, I would feel that I wasn’t made for beautiful, well-fitting clothes. I was a teenage girl who lifted regularly and hiked actively, my body set was entirely different than those of the women on the fashion blogs. I wasn’t white, tall, or thin. I remember running into Claire Sulmers’s blog; seeing a woman who was fit and wore high fashion, traveled and attended all the fashion weeks and it made me feel beautiful to see someone who reminded me of me. That’s why I preach seeing diversity in the media, if what you’re looking for isn’t mainstream, dig for it elsewhere. Find someone who makes you believe, that you the way you are is beautiful. For us women of color, don’t give up or believe that only Eurocentric beauty is the only type of beauty. Or take inspiration from your Momma, Aunties, or Friends. Don’t ever let anyone make you think you’re less than. Claire made me BELIEVE that I too was beautiful. #wcw xoxoclaire
*Do Not Own*
He makes a very good point. Never forget it.
Repeat after me: Body Acceptance/Positivity is for all body types. It does not mean you can express a negative opinion about someone else’s body because it’s different to yours. If you are a fat/curvy person, DO NOT call out petite people for not being Real women, or for having a small figure. If you are a slim/petite person, DO NOT degrade bigger people, no matter how big.
One month ago today began the week long adventure that would absolutely change my life. Camp More was the biggest blessing to ever come my way. Not only did I get to spend a week with the person who has continually kept my alive, but I had the opportunity to undergo a transformation of a lifetime. By the end of Day 1, I honestly felt more connected to the other 16 campers and the 7 mentors than I have ever felt towards anyone in my entire life. Through late nights in the girls cabins, cuddle piles on the floor, self-growth workshops, opening our hearts and souls to each other, and ultimately sharing our life stories, we were all able to become more than 17 best friends....we were a family. In just 7 days, I was able to find a home with Camp More, and having to leave these incredible inspiring souls behind has left me eternally homesick. Camp More taught me that I deserve all of the happiness and love I have found in this life. It taught me what it means to be alive and that I will be living this life for a long long time. I learned that age does not define ability and that I am fully capable of being the positive change I want to see in the world, and my dream of saving people through my writing is not even remotely unrealistic. My campers taught me what it felt like to be completely understood and they fully embraced me and who I am. I felt completely myself around them, which is something I haven't been able to do in a very long time. I developed a greater sense of compassion, empathy, and understanding, which is really the one component that our world is truly missing. When we are able to open our hearts and empathize with one another, even if we cannot identify with their direct experience, understanding each other's emotions leads to a greater sense of peace and love. We have all felt sadness, emptiness, anger, fear, and grief. And we have all felt happiness, love, and the feeling of truly being alive. It is when we can identify those emotions in ourselves and each other that we are able to fully embrace our differences and love other people. Camp taught me that I need to communicate my needs, because there is no shame in asking for help. There is nothing wrong with being vulnerable and fully opening yourself up to someone else. It can be the scariest thing you will ever do, but the outcome is priceless. Having spent a week at camp with absolutely no contact with the outside world, I learned the importance of being unplugged sometimes. When we are able to be present in every moment and truly be in tune with our emotions and in touch with others and the world around us, we will be significantly happier. Happiness is found in simplicity, and if we can learn to be more aware of the small things, like a butterfly, the warmth of a sunny day, a great hug, a gorgeous sunset, or an infinite starry sky, life will seem so much more beautiful and so much more worth living every day. Today, I am alive and I am able to love myself for every breath I take. The greatest part about Camp More being turned into a documentary, is the fact that people of all ages from all over the world can see the work that we did and be inspired to step out of their comfort zones and apply the same skills in their own lives. I truly believe that the stories my fellow campers and I have been lucky enough to share will go very far and truly change the world. Thank you to Be More Heroic and the River Phoenix Center for Peacebuilding for giving me the chance to alter myself, my perspective, and my life. Thank you for giving me enough courage, bravery, resilience,and strength to take the world head on and be the person I want to be. Thank you to my campers for giving me a family and for being my home. Thank you for loving me. I am so thankful to have been given this experience and I cannot wait to co-create a beautiful world with these incredible souls.

Happy anniversary to my brothers and sisters!
What are some of the Hardest challenges some of you have had to face?
All of us have struggled with things such as identity, sexuality, abuse, illness, disabilities, ect.I personally was a victim of sexual abuse for many years, but I have overcome the struggle and recovered from it. I have used my past as a way to become strong and help other people.- Madi
