Hammocks. Night. Tight distance as not that many trees on the campsite. There is person A on hammock 1 and person B on hammock 2. From the context it is clear that both hammocks 1 and 2 are here to stay, so is the person A and B. Because the distance is tight, a small move on each side causes a ripple effect.

You can think of silent coordination game. Luckily both parties understand the rules and throught a series of collaborative moves an equilibrium is reached.

Everyone is able to sleep well.

Morning. Sun. Good morning. Me waking up. Organising stuff around the tent. Stuff. Food. Water. Electrolytes. The usuals, standard operating procedure, getting ready for the day.

And since I had loads of items / stuff / gadgets that are practical and usand the other person was awake as well - sharing is caring. Including two books. I was told “these are my favourite subjects”

Socials. Doomscrolling aside, since it was early during the day, people alraedy asleep, signal strong anough to follow each other.

The actual wording in the bio:

Spread LOVE for FREE & with CONSENT🫶🏼

I’ve noticed that and we had a conversation about consent, consent is sexy.

BED = bureau of erotic discourse.

I went into town. Outside of festival = internet much faster.

I was able to view the profile.

Previously in the night / hammock / morning setup = I didn’t even see the person fully.

Seeing the photos online = IMAGE WORTH THOUSAND OF WORDS

(not sharing not to abuse privacy)

Tried with AI objective assessment but I guess I’ll need to try a better prompt or a different model.

I came back from town.

The conversation resumed at the consent level but this time around I already met the digital avatar (checking some online photos and finding them interesting). As we were having conversation on this level I mentioned a personal detail - truthful, playful, cheeky, authentic, vulnerable, genuine:

“to discharge my sexual energy a few days ago I masturbated in a tent”

That’s true.

Also true that I said it.

And there is science behind it… It helps with my sleep. I also use brain.fm binaural beats, eye mask… Wish I had melatonin. Every little thing helps. Sleep is my favourite substance, something money cannot buy (love, happiness, time is also in this theme).

Without context = not appropriate. In the context of multiple interactions and conversations we were having = it was likely referring to a hygienic procedure.

That should be end of story.

What I did not anticipate was unresolved trauma, trigger, freaking out, crying, OUCH

Something completely new, unexpected, something that never happened to me before.

I responded truthfully:

I spoke the truth. From the heart. Sorry. Not sorry.

That was a mistake. In my cultural circle people say “sorry” even when they are not sorry. Do you have tissue / chewing gum / fire / lighter / rolling papers / long rolling papers? Sorry… I’m not sorry, I simply don’t have the requested item. But in this particular context I should have expressed genuine apology. Expressing an apology is compatible with “the truth from the heart”.

Another (potential) mistake further down the line was avoiding eye contact and keeping distance. I thought the situation already resolved itself and I didn’t want to resurface the drama. I mention it as (potential) in brackets because it didn’t appear as a mistake at a time.

That’s entirely separate rabbit hole.

They forcibly removed my tent and made me wait at the security HQ for around 1.5 - 2 hours and then… Boom. Done. Gone. Bye.

New shift arriving.

Noone spoke with me.

But even if they did - how to explain the energy flow of balancing hammocks?

I think it was game over from the start, especially given the fact that my wristbands entitling me to entry were forcibly removed to begin with.

There is so much drama I don’t have energy to watch it… Literally after a few opening scenes I already have enough.

Having some experience with family law, I started exploring an opportunity of engaging in criminal justice - much better standards of the evidence, comes with loads of perks and benefits.

It is an infinite energy drain, that’s why I left the UK.

I’m not the victim of my circumstances, I’m the result of my circumstances.

To arrive to a new continent and start from accusations = that wasn’t on my bingo card for 2024.

I replied to this comment saying “I agree with this sentiment”. I assumed that ?? punctuation indicates an emotion. I honestly thought the same, $20 per meal is a decent restaurant price, not volunteer run community effort.

(I wasn’t aware about the number of upsells, including premium VIP camping)

I am keen to go regardless.

But then I was told not to go, so I guess I will need to comply.

I wish the food was treated like a community ritual. It would be so much nicer for the vibe, as opposed to 1st 2nd 3rd class citizens.

I also made a point about “organic”. My assumption was that in Costa Rica there is growing season around the year, local produce, not many air miles, “organic” as marketing gimmick, I understand that agriculture requires additional input and I’m OK with non-organic whenever practical.

(in other words it’s totally fine with local even when non-organic)

EDIT / UPDATE: Actually I wasn’t aware of the extensive pesticide use.

Be like gazelle, shake it off:

The situation would be handled much better if I had more empathy and imagination.

Me telling the truth how I see it = not compatible with the current world.

AI fixes that. I can still tell the truth and ask the AI: “use politically correct wording”

It’s not manipulation.

It’s adaptation.
