My life is filled with endless concepts and memories. I'm reminded of the best prospects, the people, and the adventures I put myself under. I've always, just like recently, have been going back to old entries, old stories, old youtube videos, old high school French papers that I've read or watched from childhood to now.
Before the school by my house was completed, I would always want to tower over the elevated form of dust. The workers would leave the tractors there and every piece of equipment they would use during the day. On independence day, my family and I would walk up to the empty wasteland encircled by hills and absolute beauty of captivating summers; summers so dreamy and ripe that I continue to embrace my inner child. When I stood by the tractor's mammoth wheels, I watched as my uncle smiled with what muscles he could pull with his Parkinson's disease. He pointed to the fireworks in the distant hills across the street. I remember three distinct fireworks going off together.
I remember as the sun set and everyone was beginning to leave I remember running through the dusty field looking at pipe stacks of eight. I never forget the tone of the sky reflecting onto the horizon. I live in such perfection.

that's a touching memory of your uncle. i'm sorry he has Parkinsons.
so you're in the bay area as well? what do u do if u don't mind me asking.
Your writing always inspires me. I've been looking through old entries as well, some rekindle bittersweet feelings, some I can't believe are my own words.
This sounds like a sweet memory. I was just driving with someone through all the new neighborhoods near DVC. It's amazing how much it has grown.@imjustabean - Sorry it's taken me so long to respond, but I'm actually a student right now. How about you?
@bittersweet_vengeance - When you look back on your own words, you find out who inside you society was trying to suppress. Society has his own vision and he's jealous of us. And I'm a big fan of going to all the neighborhoods. We should go when we have the time and feel like it.
@Ryusuku - i just graduated from cal and i'm working right now. school is great. stay in school...for as long as you can.
@imjustabean - You seem to make it more ominous than need be.
