I tend to romanticize summer or at least I have in the past.
And I think that's in part because of movies and TV shows that were on when I was growing
up and in high school is this idea that you were supposed to go somewhere
maybe far flung for a couple of months and completely transform, probably have a whirlwind romance.
And yeah, just come back renewed like a totally different person.
And honestly, I have never had a summer like that.
It's hard to live up to that.
Yes.
For me, my fantasy is more modest,
but it's just the idea that somehow the summer is going to stretch out empty
and full of just time to fill as I like the way it was when I was in fourth or fifth grade.
Yeah.
I guess it does go back to childhood because I was wondering like,
where does this really stem from this idea of summer as, as if it stands apart, you know, school calendar.
Yeah.
