YOU? ROTFLMAO. Seriously. I have always had a lurking suspicion that BM might be a confusing experience for me. I know I know, I should go and see for myself. And that is NOT the main reason I have not gone. But even without having had the experience I think I understand what you mean. I have even felt that type of thing at other festivals, Phish shows, etc in the past. Somehow it can be really weird when everyone is having THAT much fun. “enemy of fun”?! YOU? ROTFLMAO. Seriously.

That hit me like a ton of bricks. That is exactly what I am feeling right now. “my harsh advise is stop looking for the young carefree you, that may not (or may?) have ever existed, and focus on looking at what the adult you really wants and needs right here and now”

The last time I felt that way after burning man was 2003, and I decided it was time to take a year off. And you know the rest of the story, which can basically be summarized with "...and I never went back." Oof. The last time I felt that way after burning man was 2003, and I decided it was time to take a year off.
