The new adventures of Ali P. have begun. The traveling seems to be over for the summer. And I loved the summer. There were more ups than downs, lots of laughs, relaxation, and not a whole lot of boredom. I was constantly surrounded by friends, family, and people I love. It all ends, but the memories don't disappear. The friendships are stronger, and I've learned a lot about people and especially about myself. It's like peeking into the lives of others, close to walking into their shoes but not quite (I like my own shoes!). My journey of next school year is on the horizon, and I'm ready to get it going! I know there are plenty of obstacles already (I've already begun to face a few of them, unfortunately), but my hope is that they will simply help me avoid a worse situation.
The summer's sunshine can stick around. As can the heat. I'd love for my frequent smile to remain a permanent fixture and for my friendships to expand, too. Thanks to my friends for giving me temporary places to call home and more permanance in the form of friendship. Hugs all around!
