Summer Come Back (#14)

I know I already posted a blog about summer, but I just haven't been able to stop thinking about summer. I think its this spontaneous warm weather we've been having lately. Okay, forty degrees is necessarily considered "warm", but compared to the temperatures we have been experiencing lately in New England, its warm . We even had a day where it was -3 degrees out. And thats not even the worst of it, the worst is that it actually feels colder than what the temperature is. For example, I can recall once this winter that it was 9 degrees out, but thanks to the wind chill factor, it felt like -7. Summer sounds pretty good to me right about now.

Who doesn't love summer? Theres no school, no cold temperatures & more daylight. Not to mention the billions of activities you can do in the summer that you can't do in the winter. I miss going to the beach the most. Here is a picture of the last visit I made to beach in summer of 2013. This beach is up in Gloucester and in the picture is not the actual beach, but a fishing dock that I went to after the beach. I thought the sky looked beautiful.

This summer of 2014, I'm expecting to do a lot of interesting things. Its the first summer where I'm actually 18 years old, which is when I'm considered a "legal adult". This means I can do a lot of things I couldn't do last summer. I'm not saying I'm going to go out and do "bad things", just fun things, without having to deal with the hastle of my parents on my back about everything. I think this summer should be pretty interesting. The season of summer always reminds me of John Paul Satre's idea that "death is liberating". I believe that summer is a time when you can truly just enjoy the moment of whatever you are doing. The only way for you to honestly do this is by accepting the fact that one day we are all going to die, so we might as well live out our lives to their fullest potential while we can. Maybe I'll even go on a vacation, something I haven't done in such a long time. No matter what I do, I'm expecting this summer to be the best one so far.
