And here we are, still writing on this little odd blog. Our normally abnormal mutant rants, weird obsessions, crazy experiences, and glimpses into our intensely creative and dangerous minds. There are these little moments of beauty and perfect harmony that show up in this big world, and it is our job to collect them and to keep them and to treasure them to make this life worth living. I feel like this blog does that. It preserves these little things that truly make all the diference. Life is composed of infinities. And as we know, some infinities are bigger than other infinities, and it is our job to live fully each of these tiny moments to create something bigger. To create a bigger sense of wonder and a pure love and amazement of the world around us.
Enough of the metaphorical rant.
It's nice to be back on this blog. And of course it's nice to be out of school. Did I mention that SCHOOL IS OUT! And SUMMER IS HERE! It's quite a relief to be free of tests and homework and studying and of course forever ridden of Micolino and Hartman and every other evil middle school teacher. And there's no more middle school. Muirlands Middle School. It was both a wonderful and fun place, as well as a sad and horrid place. Good and bad and everything inbetween it was a great adventure and I am nostalgic and excited and nervous and sad and happy to have left it and to continue on with our lives in high school. It's complicated
And now I find myself slipping into more deep psychological metaphorical madness.
So many times I look back on my past adventures and journeys and moments and realize just how beautiful and amazing they actually were. How wonderful my live was. But I think it is more important to realize how wonderful and amazing your life is now. How there are an infinite number of those little moments taking place presently in front of your own eyes, and how it is now that your life is beautiful. And I always forget this. I look into the past to find beauty while the present is truly a gift of beauty.
Life is pretty complicated right now. Actually it's complicated how simple it is (another contradicting paradox to fit in with our blog name). My summer plans consist of little more than television, sleeping, traveling, eating, and hanging with friends. And dont forget soccer and flute.
Anyways you could say school has left me in a trance and I am still in denial that it is over.
Love,

I am under so much pressure to plan something, do something, set summer goals, not just sit around....
ReplyDeleteMy parents don't understand that I have it under control and I just want some time off.
And the more they talk, the less I feel like doing something.
I'm dying.
I just finished a marathon and I don't want to sign up for a 5k just yet.
Love the tfios reference ;)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe high school is just around the corner...4 more years than we'll all be separated (perhaps we'll still correspond on this blog? Who knows?). Glad to know I'm not the only who who's not able to completely relax this summer and have plans, however we must ALL find a time when we can hangout and enjoy our summer together! Such a beautiful and metaphorical post, Grace.
One thing I remember about tfios: Lonely and Slightly Pedophilic Swing Set Seeks the Butts of Children. Anyways, your essays are B-to-the-eautiful Gracie. Just a tad too long. But I agree, wholeheartedly. :)
