About Damn Time Summer: I Came Home Thirsty for My Own Fucking Life

I almost didn’t go.I had already decided camping wasn’t for me. Then somewhere between an Ice Castle bathroom that required an operations manual, tubing, fireworks, grief, laughter, and realizing nobody needed anything from me for three whole days, I learned something:I had become so busy being responsible that I forgot to participate in my own life.In this About Damn Time Summer episode of Pandora’s Box, we’re talking about getting out of your own way, living after loss, being alone without being lonely, and learning that some things are simply Tuesday fucking problems.I came home exhausted, voiceless, and grateful as hell.But more than anything?I came home thirsty for my own fucking life.
