Summer's Highlights

“There’s nowhere you can be that isn’t where you’re meant to be.” – The Beatles

Hello, there.  Welcome to my thoughts!

Today I’d like to tackle the topic of blogging.  First, because this is a blog and it’s probably the easiest thing to write about.  It’s like discussing apple pie while eating apple pie…  you have a first-hand experience to reference.

Now I really want pie…

Anyway! My second reason is because this particular blog’s birthday was exactly a month and a day ago, March 25^th.

It’s hard for me to believe that it’s only been a year since we created this page…  It’s hard for me to believe that all the craziness, happiness, confusion, frustration, and general silliness that has happened since the evening of this blog’s creation has occurred within a span of 13 months.  Yet, occurred it has!

Thank you, Sayuri and Regette, for creating and maintaining this blog with me for over a year! Whether we post after this day or not, we have successfully catalogued the highlights of our year, and that’s good enough for me!

I love you both very very much!

Less than three,

~ Summer

Summer's Acquaintances

“So, needless to say, I’m odds and ends; but I’ll be stumbling away, slowly learning that life is okay.” – A-Ha

As this blog has more or less become a means of communication between its writers, I say a jolly hello to the lovely Sayuri and Regette!

It has been so long since I’ve seen either of you that I hardly remember what you look like! Have you gone blond? Have you gotten devastatingly disfiguring plastic surgery? Have you started wearing black lipstick? These are the things I may never know…

I do, however, wish to know what y’all have been up to lately! Therefore, I am writing an open letter to you both, in hopes that you will read it and write one in reply.

My life has been terribly typical lately, which means it’s the perfect combination of stress and uncertainty that has kept me entertained for almost 18 years.  The most recent things on my mind are my senior recital, the youth symphony’s final concert, graduation, university, and making it to each of my appointments and obligations reasonably regularly.

What has been going on in your lives? I am dying to know!

In blogging fashion, there is one topic I wish to address…  it is that of acquaintances.

You know, those people that you’ve seen before (maybe even spoken to) but have never spent enough quality time with to call them friends? Sadly enough, I have far too many of these.

Now, is it just me, or do they tend to show up at the most awkward times possible? For example…

Some Days

Some days, I feel like screaming.

Like running outside, climbing a tree, and screaming.

We're told as kids that life isn't fair. It isn't until adulthood that we realize just how true that statement is.

It's losing the people you love. It's being abandoned by people that are supposed to care. It's finding out that death is coming to someone so sweet you can't fathom why. It isn't fair.

WHY?
