For the past 6 years I worked every holiday weekend because I worked in retail. This weekend was my first paid holiday where I did not have to work. So, like most people in the country Anthony and I decided to go camping. I wasn't really excited to go, especially because the weather was taking a turn for the worst. I decided I would go and try my best to enjoy myself. The first night was a little miserable because of the weather and other factors, but after I let loose a little, I started to have fun. I really needed an escape from reality because lately, I've been under a tremendous amount of stress. I do what I can to engage in self-care and stress-relief exercises, but sometimes I am so stressed out it doesn't work. This weekend was definitely what the doctor ordered because now, I feel recharged and ready to take on what the world sends my way. I have mentioned in the past that I am an outdoorsy person so going camping was the perfect escape I needed. We went to Escondida Lake out in Socorro New Mexico. We did not go alone, we went with a bunch of mine and Anthony's friends and we had a blast! We went fishing, dove hunting, rode our four-wheelers, and just had a great time with amazing people. I kept my phone off the entire time because I wanted to enjoy the experience. It felt great being off the radar for a few days. I wish I could do it more often, unfortunately, with my job and hobbies, I cannot stay off the radar completely. I hope in the future, I can go camping or be outdoors more often I enjoy it, and it helps with my mental health.
