Summer love is laughter and bares the colour orange. It finds you in an outdoor marketplace, vibrant with colors. The pulsating sounds of foreign music playing in the background. Here you are met with the faces of your favorite people, their smiles reflecting yours as you all debate over the appropriateness of taking off shoes in airplanes. You all are making your way to a Mexican restaurant where your senses are hit with the fragrance of food to come. It draws you out of the present, and now you are flooded with memories of your vacation with them in Thailand. You smile to yourself remembering how bossy Kachi was, and how friendly Chia always seems to be, talking to the locals with every chance she got. Summer love is in this very nostalgic feeling. It wraps itself like a membrane protecting the sacredness that is in the ease of this friendship. the way your gods have surrendered to the beauty that blossoms when you all gather together. summer love is in the dances, the sways of your hips to the drums of your ancestors. The singing of songs that your souls have decided are your anthem. So, you see, summer love is loud. The inviting type of loud. It draws you in over and over and here you feel safe. You feel the vibrance that is life, and under the sun you feel love.
