A Little While

I've graduated from high school. I'm an alumni.
I walked into the school yesterday, and somehow the air felt lighter than it ever had before. My shoulders were unweighted.

I got a new job that makes me very happy.
Spending eight hours with little children brings me back.
I forgot how big of a deal it is to skip TWO monkey bars.
"TWOOO, Emily! He skipped TWO!"
Everyday they remind me of being young, but also make me excited to have my own, someday.

I've lost a certain tie with someone, but regained my dignity.
I'm done with all that.
I shouldn't have to try at all, anymore. What do I owe?
We say we are going to try to be friends, but he and I have a very different idea of what friendship is.

In one week, I will be in Birds Hill Provincial Park, counting empty toilet paper rolls, and making sample crafts.
Then, we dance.
FOLK FEST
My absolute favourite place in the whole wide world.
