I am from loud garbage trucks on Tuesday morning when I’m barely up yet,

I am from a bird chirping in the mornings RIGHT before my alarm,

I am from going up to butler for months at a time in the summer,

I am from walking to the park near my house every weekend with my friends,

I am from wishing I could just hug people again,

I am from wanting climate change to just stop,

I am from not wanting to stay up at night just overthinking,

I am from the delicious taste of chicken soup broth at dinner,

I am from the sweet smell of pizza on the weekend nights,

I am from freshly baked pumpkin pie in the fall,

I am from getting my favorite Italian food during the week,

I am from drinking AT LEAST 2 glasses of water for every spicy chip I eat,

I am from buttery popcorn that melts in my mouth on Friday nights,

I am from opening presents with the yummy smell of freshly baked cookies on Christmas,

I am from calling my friends and playing roblox all night until we get too tired,

I am from helping my friends out and being there for them when they aren’t feeling at their best,

I am from asking random people if they want to be my friends at the park,

I am from laughing with my friends so much I can’t breathe,

I am from the “wonderful” world of staying indoors,

I am from finally being able to go back to school in person,

I am from making better, more strong friendships this year,

This is where I’m from.
