PEOPLE OFTEN ASK me why summer is my favorite season. most people don't like the heat, the bugs, and the skyrocketing electricity bills due to all of the A/C usage. but i still love it. i get a chance to be free, i get a chance to enjoy myself and relax. and even though things almost never turn out how i want them to, i just like the vibe of summer in general. i love the idea of spending a day at the beach with your favorite people, and having cookouts and pool parties and watching all the fireflies light up the backyard. even days where you have a ton of time to waste. i may be dreaming too big, but maybe things will finally work out and i'll get the summer i always imagine summer being.
