Entry #22 / 10th July 2022
There wasn’t too much to Sunday. Honestly, Sunday was kind of the pause day that I needed before the full five-day week of work. I joined other internationals at the camp itself to have a swim, but that was… It’s not as relaxing as I thought it would be. I felt so out of my skin that I thought my bones would call it quits and just put me out of my misery.
Connection is probably one of those basic human needs that keeps us going. Right now, I am making that connection with people on the other side of the world.
Is it the other side? I briefly thought, my geography was as crap as it was back in school.
It was days like today that I was utterly grateful for people like the Ashleys, Evan, and Zara in my life. Even though they weren’t with me physically, they were with me in spirit and spoke to me as often as possible, cheering me on as I made each milestone and grew another petal.
Or thorn.
