A title that will remain nameless.
I went on an adventure walk through the complex last night..yes..an adventure walk.. I found a big green field that would be perfect for ultimate frisbee or a summer party..it's surrounded on all four sides by two story condos, each top story with a balcony. I daydreamed about attaching string lights across from balcony to balcony..and having a party. I played guitar there for a while. The weather was gorgeous. It brought out some new music.
Then I came home and wrote some new stuff on piano too. I need to just freakin record all these songs I've come up with so I won't forget them.
I reminisced with a friend last night, as I was sitting there in the field, playing guitar.
Reminiscing about junior high..I was the new kid in seventh grade, nervous that I wouldn't fit in, but very soon becoming friends with four of the greatest people I've ever known.
Eighth grade, succumbing to my desire to fit in and trying out for cheer and actually making it..remembering how excited I was when I read my name on the list pasted to the window of the cafeteria door..I remembered being flattered but also angry that all the boys flirted with me that year, not because they really liked me, but because all of a sudden I was somebody because I was a cheerleader..Remembering my promise to my friends that I wouldn't change; and I didn't. Remembering how glad I was that I had that experience, because I was able to discover for myself that I did not belong in that crowd and I had no desire to ever be a part of that crowd again.
Auditioning for Shakespeare..I was so nervous, I did it on the PFA youth building stage. Matt told me everything I did was perfect, just to lost the English accent..
Going to Wimberley that summer and living in that awesome but amazingly dirty house..
The excitement of the newspaper review the day it came out...the heat of the summer..
getting my first kiss on stage...spending the evenings on the roof, looking at the stars...
It made me realize just how much I miss the comforting hum of the outdoors. Catching fireflies...swinging on a rope across the lake..exploring caves in waterfalls...Lying on my back, looking up at the trees, listening to silence broken only by the occasional gust of wind and birdsong.
Come quickly, summer.
