[pct-l] a good read!
Hi,
The silly thing is, I complain about stuff when I am at home and I do
when I am in the wilds. That's just the negative and sarcastic person
I am. It does not mean that I do not want to be there, at all. My
partner has come to understand that when I say that I do not like the
stones, I do not like the uphill, I do not like the downhill, I do
not like the mosquitoes and I do not like to sh*t in the wild, all of
this means that I want a hug. It definitely does not mean: "let's go
home". For a while I enjoyed being home so much, but now I just want
to get away...
