How To Save Your Sanity

 I s It safe to say that l am not alone in this? Is it safe to say that it is normal to feel like this? I can already feel those piercing eyes of yours wondering...where is she going with this? Is it safe to safe that it is not a sign of weakness when one cries? —— S ometimes it is necessary to let the tears roll down and scream, in an attempt to release all the emotions.

This particular trip was surprisingly different from what we are used to and we aren't quite "outdoorsy" people. This was definitely something out of the ordinary and new for us to try out. O ur cabin was situated near a lake. It was truly a beautiful scene...until night time arrived - that is when everything suddenly went wrong. We were aware of the fact that we would come across different bugs, but we weren't sure to what extent. We had already been told upon checking in, that it is best to stay indoors if we aren't used to what comes out at night! That was not a problem for us as we were exhausted from the drive.
