A New Level of Exhaustion

Oh dear reader, I do believe that a new level of exhaustion has crossed my path on the highway of life. I am encompassed both physically and emotionally by an exhaustion that overwhelms all other emotions. Yet, the reasons for this phenomenon are blissful.

I've been spending my days in an adventure like no other. Despite the cliches regarding summer camp that are consequences of the Parent Trap and Wet Hot American Summer, the truth of the matter is that camp is a bubble. It is an omnipresent bubble that consumes you heart and soul, thrusting you into a safe, radiant arena of love, happiness, and passion. 

The people I'm surrounded with are nothing if not passionate. In our respective disciplines, we excel. As a team, we excel. Without each other, we are nothing. This is the lesson I've learned in my first two weeks in Maine. 

To be honest, it's only been 9 days. And yet, I feel like I've known these people a lifetime and that they will forever play a role in my life. Certainly, I will not keep in touch with all of them. However, the lessons I've learned from our collectivity will inevitably be applicable in the future. 

I apologize for not writing more - to be honest, I haven't had the time or energy. Plus, if it comes down to playing a game of beach volleyball or going online. . . .the volleyball ALWAYS wins. I hope you're enjoying your summer, dear reader. I hope you are learning, growing, changing, developing, maturing, and smiling, just like I am.
