As summer comes to an end, I begin to realize how much actually happened in these short few months. This summer was full of laughter, tears, media uproars, new beginnings and difficult endings. I never realized how much I learned this summer until now. Thanks to you summer, I learned many things for the first time.
Thank you for showing me whose my real friend and whose not. Many of those friendships I treasured so deeply are not there anymore is because of you. I found out that many of those are one way streaks and I'm done being the only one on that road. I was so angry at first, so hurt. But because of you summer, I learned how to accept that not every friendship will last. That people will disappoint and it's not fair to myself to keep trying when no one else is. It's okay for friendships to end. More importantly thank you summer, for showing me who my two best friends are.
Thank you summer, for showing me how mentally and emotionally strong I can be. It was my first summer without my dog and that was many many tears. Many nights of wishing I could go back to last summer. Vacation with my family brought sadness because we were missing loved ones. This summer brought news that wasn't the best. The bad events in life come and because of you summer, you give me hope.
Thank you for letting me travel beyond Connecticut. Going to Cancun and experiencing life in a new way with my best friend was amazing. Going to California with the people I love the most was one of the best weeks of my life. Thank you summer 2016, for letting these memories form.
Thank you summer, for letting me spend time with my family. Whether they're from Cali, Florida, Connecticut, I basically saw everyone I love this summer. I am so grateful for our health this summer and the fact I was able to spend these months with so many people that fulfill my heart.
Thank you summer, for the sleepless nights with laughters, the sleepless nights with tears, the lazy days and the hard, sweaty days. Thank you summer, for the singing car rides filled with laughter. Thank you summer, for the late night swimming and endless kisses with my handsome boy. Thank you summer, for every lesson you taught me and every memory you gave me. Without you, I would not be me.
Thank you Summer 2016.
