What a summer!
It's had its bad times, it has had its good times, difficult work days, and exciting/crazy nights with my friends... It has been an adventure.
Recently the two events in my life I would like to document would have to be skydiving and meeting Chase(ton).
Skydiving was pretty much the most exciting activity I've ever participated in. No stomach drop feeling, but definitely a flying feeling that is irreplaceable. Stepping my two feet onto a platform no bigger than a plank of wood at 11,000 feet in the air was unlike any other experience in my life. It makes me want to live life on the edge (literally and metaphorically) more often and truly continuing to live life to the the fullest. I want to go again for sure and maybe even try to do it without being attached to someone else! I want a new adrenaline rush... it's my favorite feeling.
The next exciting/interesting thing I did this summer, actually the same weekend as skydiving was meet Chase. He's my sister Laura's friend from high school. We had breakfast at his house one of the mornings we were in St.Louis and something about him made me want to see him again... so I facebook stalked him and added him as a friend. We talked on there for about a day, and then he gave me his number. We texted for two weeks and then tonight we finally hung out, just him and I. We saw Little Shop Of Horrors at the Muny! It was a really great show and we had a great time! Afterwards, we went to Coffee Cartel in the Central West End for some delicious drinks and some good conversation. Eventually we were both too tired to even make conversation so I drove him back to his car. We hugged goodbye and went our separate ways. I don't know what his purpose in my life is, other than make me think a lot deeper about things, but if anything, I can see us being good long-distance friends. I hope that him and I keep in contact because not only have a read a great book because of him, The Picture of Dorian Gray, but also I've thought a lot harder about my life and some ways that I worry too much about things. I am living in the moment though and happy that I had a wonderful time with an interesting person. If I never saw him again, it would be a shame, but I can deal with the fact that tonight was exactly what I needed to get over the bitterness the summer has caused me to have.
Anyways, time for sleep.
