| The mess in my room - the empty space is what I was sitting in! |
I didn't plan to start off my summer with the first week booked off to go about doing my chores and getting caught up on cleaning and re-stocking the goods - however, it turned out that way and I am glad to have had this extra time. Today, I enjoyed the breeze from my dwelling, where all the windows were fully open; but didn't get to go outside. It was definitely a lazy day, among all the digging through paraphernalia and figuring out what I have in excess and what is dwindling.
Discovering treasures when flipping through an album of preserved notes, tickets, birthday cards, news articles etc was aplenty today. I found some sweet letters good friends had passed onto me and the kind words prescribed on the pages reminded me of all the people and experiences I am thankful to have even at this ripe age of 18. On the cover of my album I have a post-it sent by my dear pal, who is known on here as "M. Red", that says, "You is smart. You is kind. You is important" from the movie The Help. I love my friends and family for making the world such a beautiful place!
I'm still not done sorting through all the things I have accumulated over the past 18 years ... but, despite the length of time it will take to finally box everything up and seal them until my next peruse, it sure is fun identifying the moments and reminiscing in their pleasant memories. I have the entire summer to recollect these journeys and I am looking forward to every moment!
Cheers!
