_{reading summertime books and running up mountains and reaching the top and noticing the sky and playing in the rain and the smell of the drops hitting the sunbaked concrete and watching wildfires from the top of a hill and working, which makes playing so much better and being so much better and loving a lot and being care-free and free and people watching and admiring people and not planning and cooking or not cooking and good company and “the sky makes it look like it’s the end of the world” and bike rides and walking around just because and “it’s raining ash, holy shit” and three years of someone’s life and so many sunrises and welcome to adobe disneyland! and pets and pests and children and grown-ups and wanting to leave just to be in motion but wanting to stay forever and learning to dance and swimming holes and life lessons and doting and noting and drawing and so much art and growing up sometimes but being young and being and being happy, happy. happier than i have been in a very long time.}
