Bonfires Are Not My Thing

Tweet

I don't like nature up close. I like it from a distance. As I do every March, I am going up to my sister-in-law's summer house with my entire family to spend a whole weekend immersing myself in nature. Every March, my sister-in-law checks on her summer house to make sure everything is okay. She fixes everything that needs fixing before she spends a few weeks up there with my brother who is her husband and their two children every summer. They do this every year so they drag our entire family up there for one weekend in March. They don't invite us for the rest of the year, especially not in the summer. That's their own family time. My sister-in-law and her brother have a tradition where they light bonfires in the backyard. There is a large space to light bonfires and sit around them. Bonfires are not my thing. I find them really creepy and dangerous. I don't like the shadows that stretch out from the bonfires. I don't like the surroundings. I don't even like the fact that our faces are practically glowing when we look at each other. The whole aspect of a bonfire is so creepy to me. So that is one more thing I am not looking forward to this weekend besides the fact that I will spend a whole weekend with my sister-in-law and her brother. Hopefully, all goes well and my chronic pain is manageable. I also hope I can catch up on some sleep there. My insomnia isn't getting better at all.
