one thing i kind-of didn't expect was how extensive the before and after parties were. i ran into several folks there who i had missed at vibe camp itself & am extremely grateful for everyone who organized these events.

's point that it was difficult to have *quality time* when faced with such a large group and such a limited amount of time, but...

part of the appeal for me was getting to have many small tastes of different relational feelings in such a short time, as a way of seeing who i might enjoy further/deeper connections with in the future. in that sense, vibe camp felt like a beginning rather than an end.

for whatever reason -- maybe an extroverted tendency -- i found it extremely energizing to have so much social possibility in one place. i barely felt tired despite my 5 hours of total sleep.

the other thing that felt a little weird was the collectivizing/egregorizing, but it seems like an inevitability within a highly connected graph of individuals i rarely feel comfortable w groups that self-conceptualize as such, but i was happy to meet many excellent individuals

i will open up a little now that i've gotten the basic stuff out of the way: before arriving, i'd been dealing with some strange panic, surrounding foods/allergies. the intensity felt related to feeling "supported" in the sense that

When I have a nearby support network of friends, I ambiently feel more socially secure, braver, resilient; when I don't, I start feeling paranoid, insecure, afraid. The cause/effect doesn't feel consciously related! I'm starting to relate to it as taking vitamins or exercising.

during/after the event, i felt almost no anxiety surrounding food whatsoever. this has happened to me before, where i'll be grappling with a psychological issue relating to a creeping loneliness or social lack, and then i'll attend some event and feel massively better.
