Aliza and Jamie in the tree

Dear Journal,

Summer is amazing!

I love hanging out with J cuz she listens to everything I say. I'm not sure he knows what I'm talking about half the time... but he listens. And she looks at me like she's super interested.

Aliza and Jamie in the tree

On a day like this, I feel like I could fly... fly around the world!

And this might sound silly, but I felt like the tree is holding us - I feel so dumb about everything -- losing the scholarship, dropping out of school basically... but it was like the tree just swallowed up all my sadness/guilt/so-dumb-etc and it really was ok.

Maybe even meant to be...

Things are going really well with me + Jamie...

Today... her lips taste like cinnamon.
