This is one of those posts where I think I might have spent more time thinking about the title than the actual writing. But maybe the title says it all. The one at the top is courtesy of the All American rejects. I’m not one to really pay attention to lyrics in a song. I looked at these and in a way they speak to the situation. It sounds like its about saying goodbye to someone. That isn’t the case here. But saying goodbye to something else.
Another title was “Summer Lovin” after the playlist of songs that were part of the summer mix that we listened to throughout the summer.
So another title that came to mind was “Spheres, Recreating, and Unwritten”. Last year when school started we had to share three things that described our summer. Those are the three words that I would have used this year. They say so little yet at the same time so much. So that gets to the main point. I’ve started school again and begin fourth grade for the first time.
It has been an unwelcome thing. I think maybe that is where “It ends tonight…” comes into play. It was the end of summer. A very fabulous summer. The spheres and recreating have been written. They are the reason for such an amazing summer. It has been many summers of not great experiences. Just very mundane. This summer wasn’t the same. My friend Colt and I vowed to make it a great summer. The spheres and the recreating were a product of that. They have been written. Thanks Colt for a great summer of fabulous memories and to all of those that were part of them.
The unwritten hasn’t been written. Okay that is a pretty retarded thing to say. I’m just repeating the same thing. Oh well I like it:) But I think there are two meanings to the unwritten for me.
Unwritten is the fact that the recreating and spheres have led to new things. There is a sense that the summer isn’t going to end. The rediscovering of fun is there. The raft is there for the future. The great friends made will still be in my life and continue to be. Stories will be written in the future that have yet to be lived because of this summer. They are small little seeds and who knows what they will grow into. It’s instilled in me the fact that I need to not throw myself into school, but to still go out of my way to have fun and not lose that. Continue to have the experiences that I had this summer.
Unwritten is also the fact that sometimes things are best left unsaid. And in this case it’s kind of fitting because I can’t figure out how to explain that. Hmm I guess that is why it’s unwritten. So I will just say thank you Snow. Your wisdom seems infinite. I think you know what I’m talking about:)
So maybe “It Doesn’t end tonight”! Maybe it begins here!
