Just Life.

Summer's gone by way too fast.
Too fast for my liking, anyways.

I kind of like that though- time going fast. It's been almost 6 months now. (What? already?)
I know. 

In 3 weeks I'll be a senior. A senior in freaking High School. (What?!) 

I keep trying to convince myself that it's not real. I don't want to grow up. Everyone always complains about how hard it is.

All I know, is that I'm going to enjoy the ride. 

YOLO, right?

(Oh my gosh, I really just said that. Oh well. YOLO.)

Summer.

Summer 2012 is turning out to be very different than I had originally planned.
I was thinking of the late nights under the stars, spontaneous road trips, early morning hikes and snoasis.

but that was last summer.

This summer is practice, work, training, practice, bed. You'd think I'd be mad- like my summer is being ripped from my hands. But I'm actually okay with it.

Why?

I want this. I want to see myself improve in the water. More than anything else. I've always wanted that, but with the things that have happened recently.. I'm just more motivated than I ever have been. Not to prove it to anyone, but to prove it to myself. A wise man once told me "Imagine what you could do if you put everything you had into this. If you didn't hold back- if you just fell in. Fell in and never looked back."

So I'm falling in. Head first. Into a pool. Every day. Twice a day.

To make something of the past 11 years. To make something out of myself.

To prove I can do it.

Look out Summer 2012. I'm about to kick your butt.

3

3.

Today I'm having a party. With myself. Cause guess how many months Daniel has been gone?
3!
Three whole months. I know that probably doesn't seem like a lot to most people. 3 months is really short, actually. But there were times where I thought I wouldn't make it past 2 days, let alone 3 months. It's weird to look back and think "there's no way 3 months have gone by already." but it really has! Weird. I'm sure I'll look back in a year and laugh at this, but for now I don't really care.
I'm getting through this.
He's getting through this.

We're getting through this.

Happy 3 months, my dearest Elder Laird! You make my world beautiful.

P.S. Please note: Goggle tan line.

I love summer.
