This summer, I realized that I write about summer a lot. I realized, while planning a summer program for youth, that I really cherish summer. Summer has been my favorite season for my whole life, primarily because my birthday is in the summertime. But this summer, I realized that I hold summers very close because so much can change in a summer and so much can happen in a summer… and then towards the end of the summer, I turn a year older. ☺️ Hold on to those personally transformative times, peeps. It’s our time. ✨ Anyway, I’m 23 now.
