the best vacation mom and dad took me on was a camping trip
i remember that i really didnt want to go at first because they wouldnt let me bring my switch
they said that camping is about getting away from technology and i had a hissy fit over it (i was like 7 at the time)
i remember even arguing on the way up because we just had dads truck but other people had those big campers with showers and radios and stuff
"oh so they get technology but we dont huh" you know childish things like that
and i remember not wanting to put up a tent and not wanting to use the outhouse and begging to just go back home
and then night came
and i saw stars
not like a couple you normally see at home im talking like there were billions and it was so bright outside
and the air was so cold and so heavy and thick
and i felt so impossibly small and alone until my parents took my hands
and i couldnt complain anymore because i think i got it
its kinda wierd maybe i cant explain it well
but sometimes being able to text my friends whenever i want to makes them seem like they arent all that important
because there always there
but being away from my phone and realizing just how big the universe is i realized how important my friends and family are because without a phone 50 miles might as well be 50 million miles
and thats why people are so important
because its cold and heavy out there by yourself
but a parents or a friends hand is always gonna be warm and comferting


thanks for listening to my ted talk
