16 again, briefly
I felt 16 again. Excited, giggly, wondering, stealing glances.
It was a guy, of course. A guy at camp. Really weird coz I haven't had this kind of reaction to a male creature since I turned 18!
But anyway, I tried hard not to be distracted, because that was not what I was there for, and for the most part I succeeded, although the awareness was more or less always there. I also tried to mix around with as many people as I could, because that is partly what a camp is all about. I didn't moon over him or try to get his attention at every opportunity (thank God, all those years of making a fool of myself must have taught me something!).
I have to admit that it made life fun... gave things an extra zing, so to speak. Nothing happened we talked a bit, but like I said, I tried to talk to everybody I met. And I'm sure he was just being friendly, too :)
Now I'm back to the normal rhythms of life and I feel all of 25 again. Ha!
