camp

i love camp

the food is delicious, the activities are great, the wildlife is soothing,

but apart from that, camp is an opportunity to see the true nature of your friends

because camp is one of the closest situations we as teenagers have to a "difficult" situation

camp essentially is a test which differentiates between the strong and the weak

and being "strong" isnt necessarily defined through physical prowess, its a mental game as well.

there are times at camp when you get so exhausted, you feel like giving up, you feel like chucking away your pack and burying your head in the dirt.

yet you have to go on, you must go on.

now, theres an old saying that the true personalities of people come out in tough, difficult and undesirable situations

you can see how some of your closest friends will react when basically they're stripped of their comfortability, happiness and to a certain degree sanity

cos during camp, when people are very fatigued, they're more likely to say brash or unreasonable things,

things that they wouldnt otherwise say when your both dandy

so how does this tie in with relationships, well basically you have to test your friends or your lovers through taking them on a camp or going camping

you can put yourselves both in an undesirable situation and you can see how each other reacts and if your partner doesn't act accordingly and you see a hidden, "weak" side,

then you might wanna contemplate a change.

knowing the limits and the mental stability of your friends and lovers is vital in the sustainability of your relationships with them.

some people are just naturally quitters and when they are faced with the heat of battle, they melt away

these people, no matter how endearing they are during times of peace, they are just not worth your time and effort.

they'll be the first to back out on you when your life turns to shit.

and believe me, no mater how much dick you've sucked (metaphorically and physically) or how fat your daddy's wallet is

you will eventually reach that minimum point and getting through that trough is much easier if you have some close, trustworthy and loyal friends by your side

in addition, during the camping phase, when your partner is having trouble, you can also help them out which would just make you look like an awesome guy,

forging and honing relationships through physical exertion is one that is not likely forgotten,

the emotions associated with those events remain strongly embedded in your psyche, the stress, the pain, the feeling of elation when you and your friends have finally crossed that metaphorical hill.

why do you think sports teams and soldiers generally remain cohesive even after they retire?

and you know what the amazing thing is

after you get through it all, you feel a sense of fulfillment unmatched by even a plethora of a+ sacs

even if your partner fails dismally just the fact that you made it through should provide you with some solace, it is after a reflection of your own strength, your perseverance, your ability to make the best out of a negative situation

and if your female partner makes it through,

then maybe you've found yourself a keeper

or maybe you should prepare for a lifetime of inadequacy, domination, emasculation and awkward looks from your children's friends when they see you roaming around the kitchen draped in a where's wally apron.

however, this method only works if your relatively "fit"

so for you mhs guys, dont even attempt it

you'll just end up making a fool out of yoself !
