you know how you always wish that you realized it was the best of times while you were still living them? that's what this summer feels like.
it feels like tv shows in your room, and early mornings at the library, and jumping off the high dive at the pool. it feels like owning a car, bought with money you earned. it feels like late nights, eating milkshakes sitting on the curb, walking through drive-thrus, eating ice cream in a waffle cone with a view of the country side. it feels like football in the mud, and the american flag, and not being afraid. it feels like johnny cash, and windows down, and road trips with friends, and hot air pouring in the sunroof, and weddings, and the beach, and long hair, and stargazing, and coffee dates, and used book sales. it feels like embracing change and not dreading the school year or watching people drive away. it feels like tainted bittersweet, sunshine and rain, and knowing to Whom i belong.
it feels like taking a deep breath and more than just that.
it feels like the beat of my heart pumping again and again
i'm alive i'm alive i'm alive

Used bookstores are bae! And football in the mud = yes. Just because we're girls doesn't mean we won't play in the dirt.
ReplyDelete"eating ice cream in a waffle cone with a view of the country side" <--- Perhaps unintentional, but I see what you did there. ;) The pancake and waffle war may have subsided, but it was a good memory of this year.
xoxo Morning
100 FOLLOWERS!! THATS AWESOME!!
ReplyDeleteHave I ever told you you're super duper talented bc if not HOLY COW YOU'RE SUPER DUPER TALENTED

ReplyDeleteAlso OWNING A CAR?! That's legit, man.
I like the tangled expressions. They sound more real than made up everyday words of how we see life.
