This is how it works
You're young until you're not
You love until you don't
You try until you can't
You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath

No, this is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone else's heart
Pumping someone else's blood
And walking arm in arm
You hope it don't get harmed
But even if it does
You'll just do it all again

I really like this song. It seems too obvious for me to explain why.

Laying on the beach with two of my close friends, listening to great music and just feeling the sun soak into us as I, for the first time in a week, completely relaxed. I sat up, as 'on the threshold of eternity' came on and thought about my life, not the present, but the past. All the places I've been, the things i've experienced, the amazing moments, and totally appreciated myself.

Walking to the subway in the rain without an umbrella, wearing a cute little dress and heels, I look over to two guys who both have umbrellas as they embrace the idea of us sharing one. I accept, we only look at eachother and laugh. For a brief moment we both experienced a movie-like scene that should happen more often than it does. A man being a gentleman and the two appreciating the moment they just shared.

Running into a friend from my neighborhood on the subway late at night after work, we decide to go for a drink. We get off at a stop inbetween our houses and go the most adorable cafe. We both order martinis and sit out on the patio under the stars and drink great drinks and talk about our lives.

These are some of my favorite moments of the summer so far. I'm totally embracing the Summer of 2007. And if this is what real life is, I'll take those moments anytime.
