YSYP rocked my world. It was the greatest three days ever. Can't believe it's over. We all have to stay in touch okay?? It's funny how we all got along perfectly together, no arguments and no fights ever. We stayed cool and had the time of our lives. I wasn't expecting much, I had just wanted to get away for home and this was the perfect opportunity but it turned out more than I had expected. It was awesome...just awesome. I'm a really shy person by nature so making friends is hard for me. But two minutes after I got dropped off you guys were so nice and started talking to me and before I knew it, we were sharing our deepest secrets. =]. Friendships were made, secrets were told, and the most unexpected became expected. Remember all the memories we shared. Roasting marshmallows by the fire (me burning every single one ><), the ropes course (where we did the spiderweb and somehow I landed head first, not feet first), the game of fling (where Theresa tried to carry me and dropped me. ouch..my back haha), slow dancing at the campfire (soooo cute), talking under the stars (it was so romantic..haha), seeing a shooting star and making a wish on it (or rather an airplane but whatever >< lol), people hooking up even though we weren't supposed to (*cough* Bo and Bao *cough* and I thought you were in a bad mood Bo..gosh. Leaving me in the dark haha), getting our hearts all screwed up (knowing I'm not along in this..), bandannas stolen (I can't find my pink one ><), risks taken (I have stage fright and somehow I had to play Stacey..hmm lol. How in the world did they convince me?), and many many many more great memories to last a lifetime.
A friend told me before I left camp to "go and look at the stars." I didn't have a clue what he meant. The first night we took a hike up to a cliff where everyone sat around staring at the sky. I saw the stars..but they weren't anything special. Just tiny glimmers in the light. The second night we had a camp fire. Someone told me we should go sleep on our staircases and stare at the stars. I started to get what 'go and look at the stars" meant. I was scared of the fire, so he took my hand and we roasted marshmallows together. The third night, while everyone was dancing, I stole out the door onto the deck and found him lying on a bench staring at the sky. I gathered up my courage and went to talk to him. He pointed out the stars, each and every one. I made a wish on a shooting star (or an airplane lol whichever one.) We sat and talked for hours on the deck staring at the beautiful sky. I felt a glimpse of something I had lost so long ago and I was scared for my life. But it felt so good. So right. Our hands somehow met and he told me we'd dance at the next slow song. But it never came. And I didn't mind. Sitting in the dark under a sky illuminated by the most gorgeous stars ever and telling someone the deepest secrets about you gave me the best feeling in the world. We clicked right off the bat. I didn't expect this to happen. I had wanted to go to camp to escape from my home, to be free for three days. But in the midst of it all, I fell for him. Monday morning came almost too quickly. I went into the kitchen to make apple cider and I looked out the window and there he was, lying on the bench again. It was so ironic..yet it all made sense. On the bus I realized we have so much in common...And it was then I understood everything...it was then, in the last few seconds before we all went back to our regular lives...I understood things so compelling and scary and frightening..yet I wanted them all. I want to be feel them all...even the pain of it. I'm willing to take this chance...

It was like destiny we were all stringed along. Every single one of us met someone we will never forget in our lives. Some of us took that higher and broke the rule of "no hooking up." We went beyond and found the people ww've been searching for all our lives. I found someone too. But I'm willing to settle with whatever I can at the moment. Cause it's just to difficult. Good luck to all of you that I know are in the same boat. Don't give up. This camp has made us all come together, and in ways we never seemed possible. Don't regret anything. You felt that thing..and the other person did too. And all it takes is for you to make it happen. So go out there and do it..and rock my world =] Stay in touch everyone. I love you all.
