you spend half of your life trying to fall behind

the month has gone past in a whirlwind. i keep trying to find the words to write, but the time flies by so quickly and i'm at a loss. there have been day trips, and overnight trips, and daytime activities to occupy my time adequately. and in between, there is plenty of book reading.

i love this summer more than i have loved anything in a very long time. i love the way it has made me feel and the way it has made me think. despite this, i am ready for the routine and structured timetable that school will provide. however, i am not above enjoying the spontaneity of right now.

i am smitten with my daily bike rides. the miles upon miles upon miles of bike path ahead of me have the same calming and reflective effect as my need to attend church last semester. it was not for the religious dogma i do not necessarily adhere to, but rather the time to reflect on the goodness of my life and to allow myself to think about the things i have chosen to ignore until now.

i am suspicious of a lot of things lately. mostly the universe.

and as per usual, i am lonely in a way that has nothing to do with being alone.

please tell me how your summer is coming along, i need to know that everyone enjoys this season as much as me.

sweeter dreams.

I'm so glad you're enjoying your summer! Lately mine hasn't been anything special but I spent almost 3 weeks in England at the beginning so I definitely can't complain :D

This post really made me want to go on a nice long bike ride :-p
