I survived, pushing on, forcing myself to continue. "Fall out" was not supposed to be in our vocabulary. I am glad I did not but must admit I was close to doing so at certain points.
It is painful suffering, but suffering while feeling lonely hurts many times more. My only driving force at these times were to carry on until the other scouts return and to complete the whole thing so that we (a friend and I) could laugh at me after.
Just one single moment of weakness is enough for one to fall. Most times I had faith in myself, but when that disappears, it is the faith others have in me that kept me going.
I learnt how weak a person can be when he is alone, I learnt too how strong he can be with company. I learnt how one can forget the fundamentals when he is tired, and how one should not. I learnt of my own limitations, and yet I learnt that there is no limit to how much I can do when I really want to. I learnt that one needs the help of others, yet others can't help much if one does not put in effort himself.
Experience through pain. A painful experience. As how many reminded us, it is these moments of suffering that we will remember best. Bittersweet, with an aftertaste of victory.
Standard Camp 06. A sec 4 going as a venture.
With many thanks to those who helped me through tough moments.
