Well, I haven't done this in a while. So much has been going on between work and spending time with people that I haven't really found a whole lot of time to update. Here's a little tribute to what has been one completely amazing, confusing, very special, and impossible to give up summer thus far!
*40,000 stars in the evening*
Work, nothing but torture as usual, but we all made it through, and with my last week of the summer complete, I am gone from that place that is the toy store from hell, at least until November! Made some absolutely amazing friends with the newbies there that I would not trade for the world, and actually spent time with people who I never thought would even talk to me after some of the things that had gone on in the past. This is one summer at work which I will never forget, and certainly treasure, even through all the change and loss of some of the most amazing people I have met.
*Look at them fall from the sky*
Lake Compounce...the one place where I lost my roller coaster dislike, and completely went balls to the walls, all out! I don't think that place could hold more amazing memories. Kara and Danny....we had the time of our life...even with all the little bumps in the road along the way.
*40,000 reasons for living*
Times at home with the old brew crew. There's nothing like those days, and even though I didn't get to see everyone nearly as much as i might have liked because of work, I had an amazing time with you guys. Random nights out, dinners, movies nonstop, i'll admit, i missed all of this more than anything. Loud and crazy memories of silly faces and crazy places, never losing track of what was really important.
*40,000 tears in your eye*
And my life in ct. I don't know what happened, i don't really know how it happened,but I made some of the best friends in the world. Back in July, Kara, I have you to thank for this one, that hot night, you brought me to Tommy's and I got to meet everyone. That's one night I would never take back. And July 15, the best night of the whole summer, when your brother met up with us and brought someone along, Mike, the one person who I hadn't met. Tommy's best friend, and the one person who I could not be more thankful for right now. He has shown me that it's ok to be me, and to not ever think a bad thing about myself. And through these fine gentlemen, I have found myself again (Tommy, Mike and Win...these guys are irreplacable...even though they're all insane, and drive me crazy). One in particular brings the best out in me, and i don't know how i'm going to leave again, knowing that I can't take him along. So even though he might not be reading this, Mike, you're one of the best things i've found this summer, an amazing person, never failing to make me smile...i am so glad you are a part of my life.
*I would give my life to find it*
And my vacation...Rhode Island and Martha's Vineyard. One of the best times at the ocean, and the one time where I got to relax, and just take a break from everything.
*I would give it all*
But now this is where I say, 7 days left, and one week from now I will be nestled in my dorm room, missing all of this, even though it's what I don't want to leave behind again. I'll spend these last 7 days with my remaining closest friends. And I can't hold back the tears that keep coming. It's not something I want to do, crying was not on my list of things to do for the summer. But somewhere along the way, I found things, found people, found this life again, that I don't want to simply lose again. And thats the hardest thing, to say goodbye to the things that I love so much, and go back, even if that is with the best friends anyone could ask for. It's like my life is turning upside down and all I can do is look out from the inside and accept the change. I just don't know if I'm ready.
*Catch me if I fall*
