I THINK I’M GONNA PASS OUT
i have no words, we’re canon. the one thing i do want to talk about is the composition that was used for both the pining and the conversation (more like, make out sesh). the swelling of tones during the pining, where there is both gilbert and anne (no only gilbert returning to his damsel, but anne putting on her boots and readying to run as well) running to come find one another, establishing them equals, matching heightened emotions and frantic beating hearts, their interlocked gaze finally knocking the two of them completely speechless, the moment of stunned silence, the composition also halts. the music gently swelling as they come to terms with now getting what they needed all along, and the kiss(…es). no words.

Hey There, Sunshine
Ah, summer. Roughly two months of fun-filled activities, living the best of teenage life under the sun.
That’s a big fat lie. For me, at least. My summer, only a week running, has only been nothing but disappointing, and it looks like it’ll only get worse. Fact is, writing this thing is probably the only thing that’s keeping me from bashing my skull on the wall ‘til it cracks open.
Here’s why:
Don’t get me wrong, things are probably not as bad as I’m making them sound. But yeah, it’s pretty bad. Like, bad enough that eloquence with words (if I ever had any) has completely left my brain.
Let’s start at the beginning a.k.a. the start of my summer.
Listen, the last few days of school were pretty bearable. Heck, I would even say they were pretty fun, but looking around at my class of 38, I realized that they have done squat for me this year (well, save for a handful of underrated gems). I looked around and realized, “damn, I am NOT gonna miss any of these people.”
I mean, were there nice people in my class? Yes. Did I actually like hanging out with them? Sometimes, yeah. Do I wanna go to great lengths to see them during this two-month-long lull? Yeah... probably not. And I don’t blame them. I’m not the most open of people, and definitely not the easiest to get or get along with. Pretty much every interaction with me is a struggle for a person who doesn’t know me well enough (I’d say it weeds out the weak). This year has enabled me to be completely empty and dead inside, Seriously. Every damn groupwork where that one asshole groupmate does zilch, every single time I tried to connect with a brand new person but feel like we’re talking two different languages, every second I had to pretend to be different out of fear of being judged or being thought of differently (which was almost every second in my class). That kind of stuff is hard to deal with, and every time you have to, you give a little piece of yourself, to the point that you have drained yourself so much of the optimism and faith in humanity you thought you had, only leaving the shell of a being comprised of nothing but bitterness (oh hey, JUST like this blog entry).
I could talk more about how sucky junior year was for me, but that’s a blog entry for another day. Rest assured, I did gain something this year: I learned which people were worth climbing out of my box for, and it was the people who were willing to do the same (nevermind which came first). But I’m digressing: back to summer.
Like I said, I wasn’t going to miss anyone. I packed up my stuff without a word and was just happy to go. I knew I was still going to see the people I wanted to hang out with this summer. And the people I didn’t? I know I’m not gonna see them.
My prize for getting through the year was attending a graduation ball. Yep, someone thought me not vomit-inducing enough that I would be invited to a dance. My first ever dance. And hell yes, I was excited. It was this guy I had known for a while. He’s really sweet, I’m just really not interested (and honestly, I fear that he is, even if it’s a little presumptuous for me to think so). I thought it was going to be fun, turns out it was just gonna show me truly how antisocial I was. I loved the dress, the makeup, the hair. But walking around in it in a stuffy dark room full of strangers? No thanks, apparently. Besides, I can eat bad food in the comfort of my own home, thank you very much. I didn’t even slow dance because my date was too awkward to ask (and he’s supposed to like me, according to my friends, go figure), making excuses because of the crowd (to his credit, the dance floor really was stuffed). That night only told me how much I knew I’d say no if he asked for something more. I went home that night, disappointed and dejected, bringing home nothing but aching feet. I feel bad for the guy, I do. He didn’t even stand a chance to my pessimism and severe aversion to socialization. I hope he finds someone better (and if I’m the one to beat, he will).
The morning after, my mom stuck my feet into yet another painfully uncomfortable pair of heels, and we went to a family event. It was my mom’s cousin’s (who happens to be my godfather) son’s (HA, try making that connection) baptism celebration. It was a million peso event (that family DOES like to show off how much money they have). Not much happened, besides my family comprised of mostly doctors telling me to get my shit together if I want to get into medicine because I have the grades but not the drive (as if I needed to be told more than the thousand times they’ve already told me). That night, my mom, dad, brother, and I went to a gay bar and watched a drag show. I got drunk for the first time ever with my brother. The drag show was the highlight of the night, it was amazing, the getting drunk, not so much.
That’s a lot to happen over a weekend, right? I was stupid to think my summer would be as eventful though. After that night, everything just went still. I just wake up day after day in my bed’s that’s been unmade for weeks next to a trashcan full of junk food wrappers in front of my laptop screen with yet another movie I’ve fallen asleep to. This is no way at all a graceful way to be living summer. I mean, I did see one of my favorite people and we watched a movie at the mall together, but the time I spend alone just gets unbearable sometimes.
So that’s been my summer so far, and in the horizon, a summer class that starts next week in the effort to get me into shape for exams for my college applications coming in September (don’t even get me started on THAT). I want excitement in my life this summer, and what I get is a class. But hey, optimism, right? Can’t knock it ‘til I try it. The worst case is that I’ll just be disappointed again, and I’ve already had a lot in this lifetime, so what’s one more time? The best case: I might actually have some fun. I know which one I’m hoping for.
The takeaway: try doing something, anything you like. After so much time spent doing things you don’t (despite needing to), you owe yourself that much. And try not to be so bitter as I am, okay? Only I can do that. You go have a good time and leave this complaining and the sulking to me.
Peace, lovelies xx happy summer
