Summer Adventure Memories
The journey is over. Now I'm back home, unpacking my luggage...even though nothing I brought back compares to my memories of the trip. Every time I look at the stuffed animal I commissioned, I think back to that gentle farewell, followed by my other recollections of this summer Singularity.
I remember clamoring, shouting, sweating, laughing loudly, running, tripping, running some more, going around in circles until we got lost... "Fun" alone doesn't even begin to do justice to the experience, and I can't really call it an ordeal, either. This summer had everything: joy, anger, grief, and pure, unadulterated fun. It's a story that lives now within me and me alone.
I watched the starry sky twinkling overhead with my friends. I saw azure blue skies stretching on forever with them. Even if I can't recall every detail perfectly, I know we all shared something beautiful.
Now, standing in front of my half-unpacked luggage, I look down at what I still have left to do and murmur, "Okay, let's do this."
