Lately, I’ve been feeling unusually nostalgic.

There’s a number of things I can attribute that to. Most of all, it’s summer. But moreover, it’s the summer after junior year. These past few cloudy afternoons have been given to a lot of introspection. Because after all, it seems like this summer is the final frontier before I hit that final year of high school. If anything, it’s a time to look back.

I remember when counting to ten was a big deal.
