Sweet potato chips. Light, mild, and sweet.

I'm about to be a senior in college, which makes this summer kind of my last hometown summer of childhood. I am riding the bike I got for Christmas when I was 14 and I'm swimming at the lake where I had my 9th birthday party. This is the last summer that I know what will happen, and that has a lot of mixed emotions with it.

When my mood shifts after I say goodnight to my family and go up to my room. I do my skincare and pre bed routine and then it's that blank space before I really go to sleep. I journal, I think about what it feels like to be at home, and my friends and life at university. It's the two hours at least a day where I'm quiet and really just spending time with myself internally.
