Exhibit A. Me on the right. Hopes were not high, my friends. |
I'd be lying if I said I were ready for summer to be over.
Because this summer feels more like waving goodbye from an accelerating car than a brief escape from an academic life.
Which is fine, and good, and necessary to life as an independent adult. I still feel like I'm missing something - I threw out the memo on the brevity of childish freedom, I ignored the phone calls that would tell me how many months, days, hours I had before real life would begin.
We never fully know where the future is going to take us, and usually that's okay. It only becomes intimidatingly real when we're at the edge of it, looking over into a life that bears so few traces of the past. And here I am, toeing the border between self and abyss, hoping that the journey is as beautiful and enlightening as it was promised to me when still a dorky, awkward child.
These 21 days were awfully good to me. They returned me to the fleeting experiences of childhood that tell me, in their quiet way, how lovely and precious and purposeful our lives truly are.
These pictures are all so beautiful! Three weeks does seem short compared to a whole summer - but I'm glad you were able to see a lot of people and have some fun during the break - can't wait to see what the future holds for you!
