I remember long ago summers spent with my best friend
Rachel. Our knees were dirty from playing under her deck in the dirt for hours.
We both wore cutoffs that were fraying, and dirty t-shirts. Our hair was no
doubt messy and falling out of the braids that our mothers had tried to tame them in. It was hot those summers and we had so much fun mixing up
kool aid, pouring it in ice cube trays sticking toothpicks in the top, and making our very own popsicles. I remember waiting for what seemed like days for
the ice cubes to freeze. We would play for a few minutes and run to the freezer
in hopes that our popsicles were ready. We were usually disappointed to only find
cold kool aid, or slightly slushy kool aid that wasn't completely frozen.
This is what my life feels like right now, I feel like I'm just stuck waiting. Will the things I've waited for ever happen? Will the kool aid ever freeze?
Right now my life feels like running to the
freezer with dirty bare feet and messy hair, only to find kool aid that’s not
yet frozen.
