mid-year performance review

summer angel

I LOVE SUMMER.

i love when its 8:30 pm on a Wednesday and you’re out with your friends chatting about trivial matters with an disproportionate amount of intensity as the light casts everything in an orange glow.

i love getting ice cream with a friend and walking on the sidewalk gossiping like carrie and samantha in that one episode from season 2

i love the first day it gets really hot and the streets are spilling over with a euphoric sense of spontaneity, someone will say “should get tattoos right now?”, “what if we sat outside and drank a spritz…?” “should i invite X tonight?” and the answer is always yes for no other reason other than the fact that it’s summer.

i love spending an entire day outside doing absolutely nothing and feeling a weight of accomplishment as the sun goes down.

i love that suddenly everyone wants to kiss anyone.

i love seeing everyone in their go to summer outfit (we all have one), that one thing you grab when it’s too hot to think and makes you feel most like yourself.

i love the sound of a ceiling fan spinning working overtime after months of rest.

i love how everyone handles themselves with an extra touch of kindness, prioritizing rest and little treats.

i love waking up to the sound of my parents drinking coffee on the porch together as the morning newspaper lightly rustles in the wind.

i love how everyone is travelling at different times, leaving a random group of whoever is left to meet up in a breakfast-club-type-of-way which leads to silliness and unexpected perspectives.

i also love how summer is the perfect mid-point in the year to reflect on the past 6 months, a little tanner and mentally lighter than when you made your resolutions in january.

here are my definitive ins and outs of the summer-have fun, summer isn’t over until halloween <3
