I will be making coffee and putting on my tie-dye shirt for the last week of summer camp. Its been amazing working with kids all summer while using my gifts of leadership and creativity to make camp a better place. I will always remember the things I have learned this summer from those whom I have worked with and been a counselor too. Kids can teach you so much, just have to keep an open mind and be ready to listen at any moment. I know at some point I might want to have a child of my own, but after a summer of being around kids all day every day its been a bit much. Looking forward to transitioning out of this job/life in the mountains and back to the big city that I so adoringly call home, Chicago. Much awaits me there including a new home, last year of undergrad at SAIC, biking the city, working at the climbing wall, installation crew at gallery, a future museum or gallery job on the horizon, and hopefully many beautiful moments with my friends and community. The fall, in my opinion, is the best season and what a better place to spend in then in a incredibly gorgeous and amazing city where family comes to visit and friends are always near bye.
Originally before coming out to Denver for the summer I thought maybe, just maybe, after I am done with school in may I would move out here. That is not what is in store for me right now, or the season of life that I am in. After reconciling with that and really feeling a deep conviction of Chicago being home I can gladly say I do not regret being away for the summer because I don't ever want to wonder how it would have been if I had just done ______. (can be said about any circumstance)
Follow your heart, and live in love. Through that good things will come.
