And I thought, like, what am I doing?

Like, of course I should go help, assist however I can.

So I got off the bus, and I just started blindly sprinting from camper to camper, just helping them unfurl tent canvases and drive stakes into the ground, and you get the frames together.

And every time I got a kid's tent set up and they got inside to avoid the rain, to beat the rain, they did so without a thank you.

And I set up like a dozen tents.

And everyone got settled, and everyone was cozy and warm, and then I went to the bus, and I got my gear, and I went to the far corner of the campsite.

And right when I started setting up mine, the skies just opened up, and it was just torrential.

And I was in the dark, I couldn't see a thing, and I was just reeling, okay?

Because my hands were so wet, and they were so cold, and I couldn't even, like, get the tent frame together, and I just had a bit of a meltdown there by myself.

I was so angry.

I was angry at Shelby.

I was angry at the kids.

I was angry at the whole situation with myself for thinking that this would somehow like be restorative at all because I was cold and I was wet and I was tired and I was like less appreciated than ever.

And as I was just, like, spinning out out there in the corner by myself, in the dark, couldn't see a thing, suddenly, everything around me became illuminated.

And I turned around to find a dozen kids standing in the rain, smiling with their headlamps on.

And I was just so taken aback.

And they all just moved forward.

And they all started working together to assemble my tent.

I just kind of watched this happen.

I looked over at Shelby, and Shelby said, this was all their idea.
