summer.

so this is the first some since.. well, the first summer ever that i've made even the slightest effort to keep in touch with anyone that i go to school with.  

there's always seemed to be a complete separation between summer and school.  mostly just because in the past, as soon as school ends, i jet off to camp and i don't see or talk to anyone from school till the next school year starts.  

but this year i'm home for two months before camp.  so i've been trying to take advantage at that and try this whole keeping in touch thing.  

but people that i thought i couldn't be away from, i'm doing fine without.  it's really weird actually... people that i really expect to miss me and put in effort to talk to me, well, evidently don't.  i've been trying super hard to just take the initiative and check in on my friends and stuff but it's a lot harder than it looks!  

there are a few people that i know i'll talk to all summer and i love them to death for that reliability.  it's so great.  

but as much as i miss everyone, i'm starting to wonder if maybe i miss that whole separation thing.  i'm realizing it was surely a heck of a lot easier...

and maybe it's just what i need.
