leaving

hebrew freak's picture

i'll be leaving for camp in about 3 weeks. i'll be gone for 7 weeks. i'm terrified. not so much about being at camp, cuz i love camp. it's pretty much all i talk about, and my non-camp-friends dont get it. but what am i afraid of? i'm scared to leave this site for that long.

When i'm feeling depressed or upset or freaked out, or excruciatingly happy, i come to Oasis, and i read about how everyone here is feeling. i know i dont comment most of the time, but i read pretty much everything y'all post. you post it, i read it.

It scares me that i'll be gone for so long without having y'all to fall back on when i cant handle the world. besides, there's only one other LGBT kid at my camp, and s/he's not even coming this year. i mean, i dont know him that well, but at least then i'm not tagged as "the gay kid" then there's two.

and if i am tagged as "the gay kid" how will i be able to deal with it without y'all to turn to?

You won't have us, but that

You won't have us, but that doesn't mean you can't write. Get a little composition notebook and bring it to camp. As for being "the gay kid," what's the atmosphere at your camp? Did they make fun of you and the only other gay person around, or give you funny looks, or act like you were different and they noticed it? Usually camp is supposed to be a place where you can stop worrying about stuff like that. And judging by how you talk of it, it doesn't seem like the sort of place where you'd get too much crap.

We'll be thinking of you even when you're gone, don't worry. :)

it's not really like they'd

it's not really like they'd make fun of me. it's more like, anytime any guy wants to know who's hot, they ask me. and then the girls ask me who i think the boys think is hot. plus all those weird questions, like, how do you have sex, or what's it like to kiss a girl. it's not mean, it's just gets really old, really fast.

the comp notebook sounds like a good idea though. i could try that. i just dont really like my handwriting, so that sorta puts me off a bit.
