Not Quite Made For It

Have you ever been camping?

I have been camping.

At least… I’ve tried.

There’s something very appealing about it in theory. The idea of being outdoors, away from everything, waking up to fresh air and quiet surroundings.

It sounds lovely.

And parts of it are.

But I’ve also learned that I might not be entirely made for it.

There’s a certain level of comfort I seem to miss more than I expect. A proper bed, for one. And the ability to make a cup of tea without it becoming a small project.

I do like the calm, though. The way everything slows down a little. The evenings especially, when the light fades and everything feels a bit softer.

I think I just prefer experiencing that… with a door I can close at the end of the day.

So yes, I’ve been camping.

I’m just not entirely convinced it’s something I’d rush back to.…unless someone else is in charge of everything slightly uncomfortable.

Stay fabulous,
Luce 💋
