We were trying to start a campfire that night but everything there was too moist. The dry leaves gathered wasn't dry enough, the matches wouldn't light up. It was even more crazy when the fire started lighting up and someone said something about some teacher complaining and they kicked the earth all over my fire.
Our leader said it could have been a bit of a misunderstanding and so we tried again. The wind started blowing which kept killing out the fire from the matches. I so felt like giving up!! but we kept trying. After a few more broken matches, we finally got the fire to light up. I watched as the blazing fire eat up everything we threw in. It took quite an effort to make the fire steady, we kept adding wood. Light wood, heavy wood, thin wood, thick wood, all went in.
We took some junk food, poke it with bamboo sticks and roasted it with the fire which gave it a smoky, crunchy taste. We let the fire slowly die out, and I saw one of my favourite moments where the embers starts glowing like it's breathing. It's beautiful enough to make you just stay and watch. <3
