We're going to be best friends...

"We're going to be best friends."
"Oh we are?"
"Yep, we're going to be best friends and you're going to tell me all about your life and it'll be great."
"Sorry, no. I don't do that."
That's a real conversation I had near the beginning of the summer. And it's weird. I just wrote it off after that day and continued to work with this person like normal.
That was, until a couple days ago. Because, you see, at the end of last week my brain decided to do that funny thing where it goes all wonky for an undetermined amount of time. And for a few days, things were not good inside my brain. And when things are not good inside my brain, I'm kind of a bummer to be around. But it's the people who stick by me in those times that I cherish most. It's the ones who can see through my excuses who don't take, "I'm fine" for an answer and who let me care who I know I can lean on if I need to. And that's exactly what this person did for me last week. She was there. She let me know she cared. When I text her over the weekend to say thanks for caring, her response was simply, "I told we'd be friends and that's what friends do." And I was blown away by that.
So tomorrow, we're going to sit down and talk about my life. And that's something I don't do. But I have been so blessed to find an amazing new friend and confidant here that I'm going to let her in even though that's hard for me.

That's what's on my mind tonight...but in the way of my normal camp life update, last week was rather boring. It was a very small week so things were slow and the week kind of dragged. My mom is in New Mexico right now! And we had community day on Saturday. It was very cool to see everyone get to come out and enjoy this amazing place for the day. I guess that all I got for ya this week. Thanks for keeping up with my life and the interesting journey that this summer has been.
