Don\u2019t get me wrong\u2014I like nature, camping, and cooking over a fire. I don\u2019t mind no hot water, insects, or a heavy rucksack.<\/p>\n

But every trip with them turns into an experience<\/em>: bears, capsized boats, food drifting down the river, flooded camps, ticks\u2014you name it.<\/p>\n

You get the idea\u2014there\u2019s always something.<\/p>\n

Every time I come back, I swear \u201cnever again.\u201d Then summer \u0986\u09b8\u09c7, and I think, \u201cIt wasn\u2019t that bad\u2026 this time will be fine.\u201d And I go again.<\/p>\n

Story 6:<\/strong>
I knit and read, often revisiting YA books. I bought $50 of yarn in October and still have most of it\u2014so it lasts a long time.<\/p>\n

Ten years ago, I wrote a play for a friend who didn\u2019t need it, so I entered a contest\u2014and won. Now my plays are staged, with another premiere soon. Still, I earn more from my office job.<\/p>\n

I like turning productive tasks into enjoyable ones\u2014organizing, cooking healthy dishes, and wellness. It keeps me fulfilled, grounded, and healthy.<\/p>\n

I asked my boyfriend what something meant, and he calmly said, \u201cJust don\u2019t get it dirty\u2014I need to send it to a customer.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
