Dear Summer,

I know you gon’ miss me
For we been together like Nike Airs and crisp tees…

I can say and wanted to write it down- that this has been one of my best summers ever (at least as an adult that I can remember). I lost an uncle this summer, and that definitely made it one of the worst, but prior to that and even through that it was a season of reflection and self evaluation. I spent so much time just enjoying the days the good Lord has given me and I feel so empowered and thankful.
I went out more than usual, I traveled, I spent several days just enjoying my friends, family and loved ones. It was a memorable summer. I sit here on the day I go back to school, to begin the first day of my last year of law school and I feel better than ever. I’ve made new friends, reunited with old friends, and nurtured relationships with my current friends. Life is short, you have to enjoy it.
This will probably be my last summer like this, next summer I’ll be taking the bar and then off to the land of lawyer life. So due to working and hopefully having kids one day in the next few years, my summers will no longer be all mine. So I am so thankful I spent this so well. I partied like never before, making up to some degree for all the partying I never did in college and in my twenties thus far. I went to Disney again with my heart n joy- my sister, my mom and my niece and nephew. I went on a cruise to St. Thomas, St. Maarten, Bermuda and Puerto Rico with my boyfriend (a.k.a air) and his family who I love. I even went to a museum this summer. Since law schoo started Ive been saying I wanted to enjoy these summers, because they in essence were my calm before the storm. FINALLY I have done just that. It took me three summers to get it, but I did. I owe most of that to my boyfriend, who (to put it simply) kind of forced me to step out of my norm.
All in all, Im thankful and Im happy. Thank you summer.

I’m done for now, so one for now
Possibly forever, we had fun together
But like all good things, we must come to an end
Please show the same love to my friends
Dear summer
