Nostalgia
Today was beautiful. No, it was gorgeous. It was summer in the winter. The type of natural contradiction that made the blood rush through your veins. It was incredible. I knew that it's just going to get cold again- in fact it's probably going to drop down to 30 degrees in a couple of days. But for today it was summer already.
I'm sure identifying summer is different for all people. For me? It's literally in the air. Odd enough, it's almost like I can smell it. As it passes by, swirls around me... it's invigorating. Maybe it's just been ingrained in my head since Kindergarten, that feeling that summer brings with it. Freedom, happiness. It's a wave of memories. Mostly of Florida at night, driving in a car or simply walking around outside. Memories of talks with family, looking up into the stars with friends and just smiling.Of running into the wind for no reason other than to pick up speed and feel the wind whip through your hair. Tomorrow it will get cold again and I'm going to have to start up on the Homework that's due on Monday. But for today I can savor the feeling. It's indescribable and ever so fleeting. I want to take advantage of it while I have he chance.
I might even have gotten sunburnt. :P Imagine that. The sun was glorious today and we just happened to be performing a song from our school play out at the Saint Patrick's Day Parade. I guess I didn't factor in just how sunny it was going to be. My cheeks are now painted a permanent cherry red. Hopefully it'll settle soon. Maybe it'll become a tan! :D Oh, and the perfomance went great. No one tripped over any wires! [since we were performing outside and there were no cordless mics there were a few cables to be mindful of as we performed >_>;;] We sang well and the choreo went well too. My mum was watching from the sidewalk and, believe me, she would tell me if we looked bad. xP;;
The rest of the day was spent with my Abuela and Mum doing random running-around things. I spent the last leg of the car ride listening to Andre Bocelli with them. He has an incredible voice, and he happened to be singing in Spanish so I could understand him. There's just something about those songs that make you dream of the moon making everything around you glow and stars twinkling. Of standing outside and just swaying along to the music. Very pretty stuff. :]
With this new burst of energy from whatever summer wind was blowing, I'm feeling a bit inspired. Now I have a millions of different story lines swirling around my head. I don't think my fingers would be able to type fast enough to get them all down, but I'm going to try. Now all I have to do is hope that Nani signs on on so I can bat around a few ideas with her. <3
