Those where the days
It's another sunny ，hot ， humid ， smoggy day ~ it's disgusting!!!!!
I don't actually enjoy summer season especially my seasonal allergy always drives me crazy !!!! As I mentioned before autum is my favorite season ~ but during my school yrs ， I always looked forward to summers coz I didn't have to spend my time with my nose in the books .
When I was a kid I would hang out with other kids in the neighborhood and we would get together and play soccer outside until the ice cream man came . The smell of the fresh summer air ， the sounds of crickets and the fireflies twinkling and lighting up the long summer nites . For two months of the year ， heaven was at our door . Those were the days !
And then when I reached my teenage years ，as soon as classes were over ， I would go to the beach with my classmates almost every other weekend . We would plan out mini-vacations here and there . We had worked hard all year ， so we played really hard all summer ~ Those years were some of the best ever ~ though some of the things I did back then ， I would be ashamed to admit today . My classmates and I thought we were invincible ~ We were young and we thought we had the world in our hands ! But some hard lessons came with being wild . We cried ， we hurt ， we stressed and we learned our lessons ... yup ，the greatest lesson of those years were that we learned how to feel ， we learned how to be truly human . The lessons learned were intense ~ extremely joyful ， sad ， miserable and everything in-between . Those were the summers that shaped our futures .
Now， my summers are what I make of them ~ I decided that I wanna go back to that youthful innocence of finding joy in the simple things . Of course ，my time is limited coz I have to make my living . But with what is left of my time ， I am free to do whatever I want ! I wanna make my little garden like a Eden . I wanna get a kite and pack a picnic . I wanna take my camera wherever I go and take pictures of ppl and things that inspire me . I just wanna do " nothing " while doing " everything ". I wanna let it all go for just a little while ~ the deadlines ， the bills ， the illnesses ， the worries ，the fears ， the frustrations ，the constant rush of life ....... I wanna go back to the way it used to be ~ the way I remember it in my dreams ..........
