I am from waking up on Saturday mornings wrapped up in my fluffy blankets thinking, “Oh no!! I have to get up for school,” but then realizing I get to sleep in

I am from arising from my slumber to the delicious smell of chocolate chip waffles floating through the house 

I am from joyfully relaxing on weekends and not having to worry about school

I am from having the Sunday blues but then realizing that soon I’ll be able to see my friends and teachers

I am from watching all my favorite shows in my free time while laying on the comfortable couch

I am from endlessly arguing with my brother over small things

I am watching my neighbors’ adorable dogs pass by my house in the afternoon

I am from hoping world peace will improve and equal pay will get more focus

I am from impatiently waiting for Friday to arrive

I am from hoping the weekend will never end

I am from happily sitting inside listening to the relaxing sound of the rain against the skylight

I am from waking up in the morning and hopelessly wishing I could go back to sleep but then forcing myself out of bed and starting my day

I am from dreading my day of online school but then being ecstatic to start in person school for the rest of the week 

I am from counting down the minutes until school is over and I can go home to all my pets

I am from joyfully celebrating many holidays with my family

I am from having two loving houses

I am from having an unstoppable sweet tooth at times

I am from enjoying the peacefulness of the morning before everyone wakes up and starts their day

I am from excitedly playing with my dog after not seeing her for a week

I am from anxiously waiting for Covid to end and life to go back to normal 

I am from peacefully enjoying the sounds of nature

I am from calmly falling asleep to my dad playing songs on his guitar

I am from silently looking out the window at the nice weather and scenery

I am from being constantly told, “Your room is so messy!”

This is where I’m from
