"It was a splendid summer morning and it seemed as if nothing could go wrong"
greetings bloggers!
So i had to take my sister to get her braces off this morning and as i sat in the car I began to think about life. More in particular the summer part. If you think about it any rule or decision that you make for your self doesn't really apply in the summer. Its like 4 months where life stops and living begins. When long days are a good thing. Everyone's level of stress is greatly reduced by some significant levels and its the time of year where it is ok to be lazy. People no longer live by a strict schedule and their dependence on time is greatly loosened. Its kinda neat to think about how just by school coming to an end and the temperature going up some tens of degrees, People can really change. My family for example is a completely different family when we are at the beach. Considering my parents work, that is their only true summer. Everyone is their true blue selves. All the best qualites shinning through and nothing is suffocated by deadlines or exams. Nothing seems as big of a deal in the summer. Problems are not only manageable but can be dealt with in a swift, chill manner. Something about the summer lets people find them selves and catch up with the simpler things in life. The things that were forgotten or pushed aside in the previous 8 months. We all have those friends who you don't talk to for some reason during school. But once May hits you can pick up with them right where you left off. Those books that you have been dying to read finally get read. That much needed "me" time is fulfilled. and those greatly missed and cherished heart to hearts start up again.
So what im saying is this. The summer is sadly coming to an end in a few weeks. I will miss pretty much everything that makes summer, summer. But mostly i will miss the way people ARE when it is summer. I will be the first to say that i change when school starts. I get myself so sucked in to that life and i almost think about it as having 2 lives. One- a driven, motivated, sometimes stressful, always busy life at West Chester University. and Two- a relaxed, in tune to everyone, in love with my friends, simple life back in Downingtown. But why does it have to be that way? Why cant we keep the same ways of thinking and going about life in the fall and winter. Do we change ourselves for a reason? Would we fail out of school if we had our "summer minds" all year? or do we just do it because we think we need to?
Soooo basically enjoy these last few weeks! Get as much out of them as you can, because its summer and oh so AMAZING! :-)
"All we need is the truth in our hand. Someone to call a friend. Never fear the darkness. All we need is just the sun in the sky. And the hope of a summer to come with the meaning of love."
peace out!
