This is the worst break up I've ever gone through. It happens literally every year and it never gets any easier. In fact, as I get older it almost gets harder. Each year that passes something changes, first it's a high school graduation, then it's a summer job, soon I'm officially a big time college student and holding an internship. I am now have my final summer and the official breakup happens and I become an adult.
No one tells you about how horrible this whole process is. I wish someone would've warned me at age 5 that this is the good life and to live it up while you can. (I definitely would've hit up the slip ‘n slide for a couple more slides.) I want to go back to the days where I lived in a bathing suit and spent half my summer on a boat instead of being stuck in a professional suit spending half of my time in an office.
Summer you've got to be my worst heartbreak yet because I never want to let you go. I think I'll miss the freedom the most. Getting to chose where to go, what to do, who to hang out with and have to barely think about any real responsibilities.
Every summer I miss it more. I miss the bonfires, the summer shandy that tastes ten times better than it does in the winter, the hours spent at the pool in the sun, and everything else that means summer to an Ohio girl.
If you think about it though, we Ohioans are lucky. We get to look forward to these three summer months and hope for them all year, but that's what makes saying goodbye so hard. I don't want to give up summer. I don't want to give up all of the fun that it brings.
So summer, you always will be my hardest break up. Thick and thin you always pull through. These last few weeks I'm going to cherish you and treat you right. I'll find myself sitting by the pool and drinking a summer shandy, having my last final nights with my high school friends, and enjoying the carefreeness that you bring me. I'll think of these memories when I'm freezing in the negative degree weather, hiding under my comforter and praying that you'll be coming soon.
Thanks for the memories this summer 2015. I promise to make these last few weeks great and make a few final memories along the way. Here's my kiss goodbye summer. I love you and I'm already looking forward to 2016. Xoxo
