| It's odd to fall in love with the idea of something, but here I find myself with it inside my head, running over and over, a little bit different each time. I suppose the most I can say is that my entire body aches for the beach right now. Summer is slipping too quickly away, and I'm feeling pressed for time, a sort of frenzied rush to the good parts. But then, it is only 9 July. I have to remember to take things slow. I get so excited about things and I let myself build up to them, and then when it doesn't happen, I'm just crushed.
I don't know what I'm talking about right now. What's in my head and what's in my fingers are two different things.
I know what I don't want, though: I don't want this time to just be like all the others where I fall again after pushing it to the back of my mind throughout the year. That's what happens, you know. We leave, and September starts, and I make myself move on. But then along comes July, and if I see him, my heart starts all over again. This is the fourth summer in a row. Holy cow.
I need to go to bed. Work camp is in approximately...four hours. Here's a good 7 days worth of mind-numbing (in a good way) physical labor to keep my brain occupied. Because right now it won't stop racing. |
