Dear Summer,

Dear Summer….
This year you’ve truly been good to me. My love for you is immense. You’ve guided me thru challenging situations of all sorts and kept me lit all season. I don’t know how, but the universe came together every time. It’s like the moon and the stars aligned and BOOM… I was everywhere wether I had money in my pocket or not. I haven’t missed a single social event and somehow all my bills were paid despite all my ridiculous spending habits lol. I’m filled with an abundance of positive energy regardless of any of the demons riding me every time you’re with me Summer. At times life can be f*cking hard, but somehow the Fly fits are easy with you Summer. Pair ya favorite pieces and go! Throw on shades if you feeling bad & bougie and fill that ice cup with ya favorite vices. Summer you’re Niceeee… *In my best Fabolous Voice. Still… I have to remember that you never stay for long.
Summer, I know you’re not the type of lady I can keep tabs on… Hot days, cold nights, Here one min and gone the next. Since that’s the case, I truly try to take advantage every time we’re together. Still… Never has it been so cool, to be dead fresh on a hot day and link up with the people you adore most. Hashtag- “Squad Lit” on group photos… Hashtag- “Goals” in pics with bae… Hashtag “Every lit summer event in your city”!!!! You bring every one out and the list of things to do when you’re here just don’t stop. I enjoy every part of being with you down the warmth of of your bright sun on this brown skin. Summer baby, every time you come around, you make me feel amazing!
So shout out to all the late nights and early mornings with you Summer. Shout out to concerts and lit performances. Shout out to street festivals, block parties, cookouts and bar-b-cues. Shout out to hot beach days and the Coney Island boardwalk. Shout out to eating pints of cookie dough ice cream, knowing I should be watching my figure. Shout out to The Williamsburg water front and its’ amazing view of the city. Shout out to cruising the city streets all night, music loud, windows low. Shout out to summer birthdays and lit occasions that bring people together. Shout out to late night vibes in Brooklyn bridge park. Shout out to links and drinks and the Mexican Margarita spots bringing drunks together city wide! Gonzalez y Gonzalez on Mercer Street in soho, I See You! Y’all cant tell me that Cinco de Mayo isn’t the unofficial start to summer either lol. This a New York City Fact… We can argue lol… Most importantly, shout out to simply being spontaneous.
Summer when you come around I’m 100% percent more likely to say “yeah, F*ck it”. One of the best feelings with you Summer is taking a spontaneous chance and it somehow works out for the best. So many spontaneous moves made with you Summer. I don’t regret one single decision and every dollar spent was well worth it. I feel like we have all the rest of our lives to worry, but when I’m with you Summer, I worry less. Call me irresponsible, but that freedom from worries and just doing exactly what makes me feel happy in that moment has honestly been the best gift anyone could ever give me. Unfortunately, Summer you’re a blessing and a curse…
Summer you’re leaving soon and though you’ve took me for a magnificent ride, I knew it’ll all come to an end. Seems like you love me and leave me... and every year I’m still a sucker for yo ass when you return. You mean so much to me Summer. We really go together, lol. These last 3 months were great because of you. June was awesome, July was beyond Lit and August was noteworthy as f@#%… Not for nothing, my time with you is exactly how it should be when you Young and POPPIN! Summer you’re a VIBE and embracing you somehow channels nothing but good energy. You have this special way of making everything go with the flow… You’re truly magnificent and although we’ve always had a great relationship, this time around I believe that I’ve fallen in love with you all over again. Summer baby you’ll be missed, but I’ll be here waiting for your return… Look out for my next blog post. Stay Flee!
