Camp stories

 ⚠️TW⚠️: Mentions of Self Harm

I got back from camp about a week ago so have some stories. Most of these are good stories for once I do hav one that imma start out with.

Story 1: 

So there was this girl Lulu she was the youngest out of the tepee (we stayed in tepees with seven campers, a staff and a teen staff). When I first got to camp she was my first friend in till she wasn't. As we were walking back down from dinner she told me she was a lesbian. Cool I didn't care what her sexuality was at the time she seemed nice. The problem was when she told me she had a crush on me. I had known this girl for like 2 and a half hours. Then we had to sit in a theater for like a hour and a half. She kept moving closer to me which made me feel uncomfortable because first of all I didn't really know her second I was scooted to the point where only half of me was on the bench. The next morning I woke up at like five forty five am. When I woke up another girl who had the mat next to me was also up. Her name was Clara and she and I became good friends. But an important thing was that she also had the same thing that happened to me with Lulu happen to her. 

Then on the last night me and some of my friends not including Clara sat on a bench and Lulu also sat on this bench. When we asked her to move over a bit because me and my friend Lily barley had any space she refused to move. As that nights program went on she kept scooting a bit closer and this made me uncomfortable. I was also worried I as making Lily uncomfortable because I kept having to scoot away from Lulu which made me have to scoot closer to her. So at one point I told her 'I'm sorry if I'm making you uncomfortable but Lulu just keeps scooting closer. My anxiety was not helping. The previous day Clara and I had decided that if Lulu invaded our spaces one more time we would tell a counselor. So after the program when we went to brush our teeth Lily and I went to the bathroom to brush our teeth and their I also saw Clara so I ran up to her and told her 'Lulu did it again' so then we both agreed to tell Maya one of our counselors who at the time was brushing her teeth with Emma, one of my other friends. Emma was also part of the situation because she was part of the thing that happened on the bench. 

We told her and she told us that she would go talk to Nova (our other counselor). We had ended up talking about the next morning. During this conversation, which was quite uncomfortable I think I only spoke twice, Once as to talk about the situation the other was also kinda talking about that basically what happened was, well I don't remember how it can that i was talking but I do remember what happened after Lulu spoke she said ' But I don't understand why you were uncomfortable, I have seen you let everybody  else get close to you.'  I think she was referring to how I had piggy backed people and how me and Emma had snuggled. I told her ' Well I'm an only child and and for me I am not as used to interactions like that unless it's people I have gotten to know and I had only known you for a couple hours.'. During that conversation when I wasn't speaking I scarred a mosquito bite, picked at a scab and snapped a hair band on my wrist for a solid 15 minutes. When the conversation was finally over I stood up and walked over to Clara and Emma and said ' Hey can one of you please take this away from me?' So Clara plucked  it out of my hand. Emma asked 'wait were you harming yourself?'. Before I could respond Maya called us back and said we would walk back as a group. So I didn't get to respond.

Story 2: 

So they was this performance on the last night of camp Clara knew the song Sofia by Clario on the ukulele so a couple other fiends and I learned the song. During the performance we accidentally skipped a verse but it was fine. My friend Lily had to preform another act right after ours so she was I bit more nervous the the rest of us. You know when your leg shakes or if it does. For me when my leg shakes it's most often because of anxiety. After the show my leg was shaking more then it would normally if it shook. I think it was because I was worried about what people thought about the performance. Anyway moral of the story is now I can't listen to Sofia without tearing up.

Story 3: 

I got heat exhaustion. So Emma and I were sitting in art class making gods eyes . She had scored the last shady spot so I was sitting in the direct sunlight. Where this camp is especially hot in the daytime, and freezing in the morning and at night. Towards the end of class I started getting really tired so I walked my councilor, Maya if I could go lie down in the tepee by she said she would be more comfortable if I went and lied down in the nurses dome. So I went o the nurses dome lied down for a bit and put some electrolyte powder in me water. Then it was lunch time and I was hungry so I left.

Story 4: 

I had to explain to two of my friends hat a prostitute was as well as what a sugar daddy was. Before i could finish what it meant to have a sugar daddy Lily said 'I want a sugar daddy' then I laughed and finished explaining and she said 'never mind I don't want one'. That was bye far one of the funniest conversations I had at camp

Story 5:

Lulu pissed her pants and made a super big deal out of it. Then she woke everyone else up when she went to change and it took me and Clara 30 min to convince her To go change.

Those are all the camp stories for tonight it's about 3am. I'm hanging out with my cousin tomorrow. I did something productive with my insomnia  by writing this. I think I'm a write a chapter about insomnia. Anyway goodnight see you in  2-7 he days
