Washington 92

It’s 10:11 PM I sit in my tent Again another night of all I hear the waves breaking on the shore. Today was the first real day of work day 2/8 The work is extremely boring mostly due to the restrictions that we have placed we arent permitted to run any machinery meaning that we arent allowed to use chainsaws which kind of sucks due to the fact that this entire project is cutting down trees so we spend the day cutting down trees manually by hand. It’s exhausting and my shoulder hurts but again we’ve done worse and I can’t complain because after a long days work I come back to my campsite and I have an empty lake all to myself so I swam for 30 minutes today allowed myself to just soak up in the sun and enjoy the scenery. I get a kick out of making videos but I find cool and then I would like to watch one day later on with old friends new friends whoever. Talia FaceTimed me for a bit and got to catch up she’s an awesome person that I’m insanely grateful to have met during my time in Utah. I end the night reading but also bothered at the fact I get this urge to send text messages to the wrong people with the little service I have here. I’d prefer it if I didn’t have to say wrong people. It seems to be that way though.

The feeling of denial or rejection is a bittersweet feeling. It’s a reminder that It forces you to think about how others perceive you, and that can be empowering. Make rejection a positive experience by changing the way you think away from what you lost out on. Instead, focus on what lies ahead. ALSO the occasional rejections make the celebration at the end so much sweeter.
