it's not that summer is bad
but summer really does accentuate the holes in your social life
summer forces you to take count of your true friends and allows you to discover those who you thought were friends, but really aren't.
summer brings about a rise in lonliness. you sit and wonder how you can be so alone, and all that time of doing nothing really doesn't help anything at all.
a time to relax? maybe. but sleep is really the only peaceful rest that occurs because during sleep you don't have to think about what to do, who to call...who you wish would call.
i know this sounds really stupid and emo. call it what you will. but when you're living it, it's the worst feeling in the world. this is the truth. and i know i'm not the only one who feels this way.
embrace those around you. don't let real friends slip away. summer has a tendency to allow that to happen. if someone means something to you, let them know. make an effort. nothing hurts worse than knowing you've been forgotten.
ok then.
