I went outside to sharpen my pencil with a knife and these kids called out to me and asked if we could take a picture. I was confused at first but eventually figured out what they were asking. I hopped the fence and went over to say hello and then had the time of my life just hanging out with them for a bit. The girl on the left was so funny, maybe the funniest person I’ve ever met. She had us all dying. I’ve been feeling pretty lethargic and bored here, not wanting to do much because, well, from an America perspective there’s really not much to do. I think, though, that what people do here is not worse or less interesting, simply unfamiliar. I don’t yet know how to engage and have fun here so my mission for the rest of my time is to figure it out. Also I went on Safari and saw some dopeeee elephants 🐘 I’d never seen them before and they are truly magnificent animals. Very like modern dinosaurs Also, also I have a new blog post if you’re interested! Link in biology class
Things I’ve pondered in Bolga: What would I dare to do if I could not fail? What do I actively want to struggle for? What are my biggest fears and how can I face them? Picture 1: the soccer field behind our house at sunset. Picture 2: Andrea and I with a group of weavers. Picture 3: a wonderful welcome by this dancing woman.
Bon(fire) voyage @jpow.8 thanks for visiting. The rest of you are okay too I guess 🏔🔥
Take. Me. Back. To. Traveling. ASAP. ✈️🏔🌱 - Has anyone thought about how years ago people could just leave wherever they were, provided they could survive in the wild. People who could hunt, gather, and farm were able to strike out to the new frontier and that was normal. Today, our world is more or less full. Everything is either owned or unaccessible. I sometimes wish that this weren’t the case and that I could just go, that I could simply escape the world as we know it and have a grand old adventure. It’s really hard, though, to escape familiarity and what we know. Even in moments when I have managed to find some solitude in the world, physically away from people and away form what I know, my technology attaches me to home. This has dangerous implications and people don’t take the time to think about them. If we can’t leave our connections at home and be truly alone and if we’re trained subconsciously to fear solitude and loneliness then we will miss out on the amazing opportunity to learn to be unique. It takes solitude to find one’s self and one’s truths. The questions are: What is the next frontier, how can we learn to be alone, and what does it take to be one’s self?
