Why Didn’t I Post This After Camp????

The Post-Falcons Depression was literally too real this year. I wasn’t ready for it. I know we had all week, but a week has never felt so fast before. I was in denial that we were leaving until we got home. Camp, and specifically that camp, hold the most positive feelings for me. It’s pretty much the first time that I felt like I belonged anywhere, and I never want to lose that. It feels so much like home there, and it’s so easy to pick up where you left off with people because half the time, you’ve been texting them since you last saw them, and even if you haven’t, it feels like no time has passed and nothing as changed. Leaving camp is the hardest thing I have ever had to do, and I still continue to do it. It’s my home. Those people are my family, and I love them unconditionally, no matter what. They’re the people I will always want to  be around. I will never have enough time with them, and I am so lucky, so, so, so, so, so lucky to have the friends that I have and the memories that I have and the opportunities that I have because of the Polish Falcons. I will never stop missing it, and I will never stop loving it, no matter what. Even if they hit me in the face with shaving cream and call me Quasimodo for the rest of my life. This is my forever family. No doubt about it.

It's 6:12 am and we're all still awake in the cabin eating habanero chips while gambling. Today should be interesting.

Okay so I was at a church camp for the past week, and it is the third year I’ve gone. So before I go off on how great the camp was and stuff I want to talk about. 

On the night of the last full day of camp each camper goes up one by one to receive a blessing from their consular. Basically your consular tells you what they see in you. for example in the past two year what I have been told was basically the same at its core. The girl that shy at first, then once she warms up she’s nice and friendly. That it was nice watch me warm up to people and come out of my shell. Which I’m not saying bad or anything its just that I’ve changed so much in three years. This year I didn’t know what to expect to here. 

To sum it up I was told that although I was a bit shy at first I quickly came out of my “shell” For the first time ever I was told that I was described as “out going” and “funny” not just the “sweet quiet girl” 

But was really stuck with me was my consular told me “its okay to be shy; there’s nothing wrong with that.” 

I almost cried right there. 

You don’t understand, I’ve always been that “quiet girl, that’s hard to get to know, but is nice was once you do” not that there’s anything wrong with that, its just with the “shy” part come adults forcing you to “be social” and “open up” That being “shy” is not necessarily good, that you need to be the “social butterfly” to be happy or something like that. 

So to be told that there’s nothing wrong with being shy, I just... I hit me and I can’t explain it. Being that “shy girl” is apart of me but for the first time some seemed to focus on what they saw after I “opened up” that I can be “out going and funny” 

For the first time I felt like some one saw that there was more to me than just the “shy girl that comes out of her shell and it nice”  Not that there’s anything wrong with that it’s just the “shy girl” is only half my story, and some finally verbally acknowledged the other part.

camp update - fly just flew in my ear and my reaction was to panic and hit myself in the head with my phone - a quarter of my toenail is falling off and it hurts a Lot - we watched lilo and stitch tonight cause we only had like 25 campers and we were too lazy to plan an activity - I got paid today but they paid me wrong so I'm still waiting - I stole a bunch of snacks and brought them back to the cabin and they were amazing - i just took a shower that was actually not terrible. the temperature was perfect but the water pressure was still the equivalent of a weak sink
