first entry
i had planned to start this blog once summer had started, so i could document what i had done that day, the people i met, and adventures i went on. basically, a journal, or diary. but much more personal. because the more i thought about it, and the more i started reading other books (which is basically all i do when im not with friends/doing homework/tumbling) i started to realize that the adventures and people and activities meant nothing. it was the emotions that rushed past me, and what i felt about that day, that mattered. when you really think about it and about summer, you dont remember the events that took place. at least i dont. i hardly remember every single car ride, or the specific dates that i hung out with my friends. what i remember was how i felt when i first jumped into the pool. or what it was like to drive with the windows down that first night of summer. how warm the bonfire felt when it heated up my legs and the people i shared those thoughts with. so back to what i was originally saying, this blog will be much more than just a few pictures of my summer and a short description of it. here, i will share the world as i see it. my wonderland. and maybe, when im older and decide to have children, i can show them these entries. so even though they may not be able to relate to me then, they can see what i have gone through now. or even if i dont, i can come back to this blog when im older, and relive those summer nights when catching fireflies and those comfortable silences with my friends are enough to make me feel like life is worthwhile. because, as humans, we all want to feel connected to something or someone. so feel free to connect with me. and live through my own experiences. it might inspire you to go out on your own.
