16th birthday party. If I could relive one day, it would be that day. My friend and I celebrated our birthday together at black hill (our birthdays are a day apart) with a group of friends. My mom and I basically planned out the whole thing and everything went extremely well — We went kayaking and it was beautiful to be around nature and just.. listen and be present. We had some really nice food and got some really good photos and walked around a bit and I was really happy then. It was one of the first times I’ve hung out with a group of people since quarantine, and it was a bright moment amidst a tough time. I miss summer.
