things brighten up and slow down, simultaneously, at this time of the year.

i cannot wait for may. and june following. and july and august especially following that. and perhaps early september. i need money and friends and copious amounts of water to swim in and sunshine to soak in. i need muggy, humid air, i need clear blue skies, i need glorious, dust-filled sunsets and cool, nearly-sleepless nights. i need strawberries and sidewalks and movie theaters and running through the town at night and driving and nature. i need more laughter and more dancing and possibly a bit of romance.

i need to make this good. good for me and good for the memories and good for the history books. i need to be outside--outside buildings and outside my walls and outside my own damn self at times.

i need this summer.
