(That’s my beautiful dog Webster or “Webbie” and he’s 7 years old and my baby- his tail is naturally stubby and he’s our mutt <3 ) *So like I’m about to launch off into a “rant” but like not a rant because it’s not negative just like don’t mind the poetic language* Do yall ever get that feeling deep in your chest when a certain song comes on in certain weather? It feels like this deep ache, but it’s really faint and it kind of makes breathing feel weird. You want to laugh, but cry and the same time. And it triggers a memory that you can’t really grasp, or makes you want something but you don’t know what? That just happened to me. I don’t know why, but I was staring out the window of my bedroom at the bright, endless blue sky and lush green trees promising summer. The sun is in its early setting stage, when you know it’s getting late but the sun is still in the sky. I was reading a book and just living life when suddenly “Cherry Wine” by Hozier started playing. (Attached it to this project- it’s such a good song) I got that feeling in my chest. It started gently, because I was thinking about happy summer memories and this summer. But as I kept thinking, I realized something that caught me off guard. I’m 14 and about to go into high school in 6 weeks. It’s been standing right in front of me for so long, but I never stared at it fully because I kept it covered with a mental blanket and pretending everything’s gonna be the same it has been. Reality slapped me in the face. I’m going to a different school than *most* of my friends that I’m really excited for, but terrified for at the same time. The environment there is so much better than the one I’m in now, and it has so many amazing opportunities. I feel like I can be someone there. But starting high school means everything is getting more serious, and I’m terrified. That thought cut deep into my mind and found its way to my heart as I remembered all my previous summers- in particular, my neighborhood swim team. It’s an amazing team and is probably the highlight of my summer every year. But I’m realizing that it won’t be forever, that it’s going to end soon. Yall are probably thinking, “potato, what’s all this for?” To be honest, I don’t know. I guess I’m just trying to figure out if this feeling is normal or not. ANYWAYS Hope yall are having an amazing day/night, if ya didn’t read this I don’t blame you it’s really random, and hope you enjoyed my pupper <3
