And just like that, it’s June.

Every year, the days and weeks and months go by a little faster. In less than three weeks, we’ll hit the summer solstice and the days will start getting shorter. But it already feels like they race by.

Back in the day, June meant total freedom. It mean no school, no classes, no homework, no tests. It meant not a lot to do and a whole lot of time to do it. I remember thinking summer would never get here, but when it finally did, it didn’t last long enough.

Now June means I still go to work. I still do all the boring grownup things I did in January and February. The only thing that changes is the temperatures start getting hotter and I sweat more. I do love the longer days, especially when it’s 8 pm and still light outside.

But I know that if I blink, it’ll be July. I close my eyes for a moment, and it’s August. Before you know it, schools will be back in session and summer will be over. But then comes my absolute favorite season of all, autumn.

But until then, happy summer and happy June!
