I think summer may be here....it's been hanging around in the shadows lately, not sure whether to come out or not...but i've been getting hints that it's almost time for it to fully reveal itself....for instance - I have gotten the extreme urge to boycott shoes (which was spurred by mario's dramatic stunt at school the other day), i hardly ever blow dry my hair, and EVERYTHING is fun again...no other explanation will appease it - it's definitely, no doubt, the beginning of summer.... everyone knows it's not just another season -it's a stinkin' state of mind!
Summer is dangling your feet out the car window, summer is falling in love, summer is having dirty feet and a kool-aid mustache all at the same time.....it's forgetting about all the things that tie us down and "going with the flow" -or at least that's the way it is for me. Summer has never let me down... and I know it'll be hard to live up to last's years FREAKING AWESOME memories....but, with the hellacious year that i've had, nothing would be better than complete freedom from all the evil things that school invades our minds with. augh. i can't wait.
....and then there's always July 13....
i should be in haiti. everything reminds me of it....and for some reason i feel like i'm missing out. I left almost a year ago and I still haven't tired of telling people my unending amount of stories...but, I can never fully portray the inpact it left on me.....I'm the person I am now because of spending time there....indescribable. There is SO much world out there...and we're stuck in this little town without a speck of diversity...the moment i stepped off the crowded plane and this humid wave of heat engulfed my face, I knew that I would be traveling for the rest of my life.... Something about this world fascinates me... how the way a life is constantly shifting over each sea and over each mountain...it's something a person can never learn to grasp. Definitely a "i'm not the only person in the world" time... on of my best memories of haiti was on a lookout on the mountain- you could see EVERYTHING! I remember just looking out over this...and feeling so small...and so big....like, I DID THIS...i'm in haiti...because of God! wow. what a feeling. There so much to understand and so much to discover....it just caused me to drop my jaw and stare into the skies and thank God for the wonderful world He created for us to live in...
...but then again, God has always been good at causing my jaw to drop...
.......i'm ready for you mr. summertime - bring it on. i know i'm not the only one who needs the freedom --bring on the cookouts, swimming pools, and best friends-- it's time to make up for a stressful year...it's time to catch up with myself....it's time to laugh about nothing......and just as sure as my confirmation receipt for my first order of CHA74 merchandise, SUMMER IS HERE!!!!
