After 17 days in the hot, dusty, windy, merciless desert.. I can finally say, burning man is not pretty, and it's no joke. Definitely NOT a vacation 😂 Coming in for build and strike showed me such a different side to this experience; The work, the planning, the mental and physical exhaustion, the never-ending effort, and constant focus & determination needed was completely astonishing. An eye opener to the BRC's participants hard work to pull this city off.. Felt stinky, bruised, tired and beat-up, but so happy to have gone into this experience and come out stronger, prouder, more confident. Thanks to DayDream for being my temporary home, to Kaz for supporting and standing my worst moods, to Jon and Nico, to the old and the new friends; and to me, for always surprising myself 💛 #burningman #burners #deepplaya #friends #friendship #empowerment
