Summer Fresh : Part 1

<<SUMMER>>

Long nights, spontaneous days with friends, hiking, concerts, baseball games, laughter, sunsets, clouds over cornfields, sunshine, rainstorms, tornados, coffee.....

All the things that make up summer. Most important, best of all, spending my days with the people I love most. The people I could never live without. The people, who fill me with happiness and my heart with joy. 

My people.

"I try to take a breath. Thoughts racing through my head.

I try to capture it, but a picture can't hold what a heart is feeling.
I just wanna stop the world from spinning,
Slow it all down for a minute so that I can take it in.

We live for moments like this. Come alive, in moments like this."

-The Afters
