As I began peeling the photos off my wall, I had the most surreal feeling of attachment- not to the photos themselves though, but to them being up on my wall; to the sequence I put them in so many months ago; to the 16x9 door room which has been my home for the past several months. The people in the picture feel so distant. High school seems so long ago. LMU is all I know right now, and it carries my heart. Though I cannot wait for summer, I am really unsure of what it will bring. I will return to my city, I know that much. Hopefully, it will be a summer of reconnected friendships, a summer of exploration, a summer of employment, a summer of family, a summer of planning, a summer of fun.

This will be a summer of discovery, and more importantly rediscovery.
