BUT MOMMY!!! I don't wanna go home

Ok, so I have talked a little about camp in these blogs.  Camp was one of the coolest times in my life.  I counted days until it started yearly and then cried  for hours on the way home.  I don't know that there was anything that much more amazing than my normal life, but camp was my comfort zone.

One of the songs out right now reminds me alot of daydreaming.

Owl City - Fireflies

You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep

'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhereWhy
You'd think me rude
But I would just stand and stare

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems


The song totally talks about daydreaming for me.  Camp was a place that I wanted time to stand still.  I wanted the week to last forever.  


Life is like that.  For alot of people, childhood was easier.  If they could go back and be a kindergartener, life would be so much easier.  Maybe you had a great high school experience (not me) and reliving your high school memories makes your heart sing.  


Why do we do that?  Why do we want to stay in those comfortable times?  Why do we not want to move on and instead stay in those places?  


Places of our comfort, places where we feel completely loved, places where we are on top of the world, are the best places on earth.  These places are places we go to in our dreams.  These are places that fuel our passion.  These are usually places where we feel no hurt.  


For me, conflict never happened at camp, not like in the outside world.  For me EVERYBODY loved me and I loved everyone.  So... how do we make those comfort zones part of our daily reality?  How do we make those experiences live on and find those experiences in daily life.  


If truth be told, yes camp was one of my favorite memories, but I have to say that I find new exciting experiences every day.  I have experiences that continue to shape me into who I am.  These experiences are priceless.  These experiences show me the love that I can share and show hourly.  


Where are your comfort places?
