Hello, you. June’s theme will be LONGING. Unlike more-acute forms of desire like desperation or need, longing is a sweet ache—more pining for something than dying for it. It’s nostalgia, homesickness, boredom, a persistent feeling of lack, dreaming of escape/the future. It’s summer: summer homes & cottages, stuffy summer bedrooms, sun-bleached memories of summers past. The shadow of September that hangs over June. It’s secret hangouts, crushes, unrequited love. Send what you’ve got here, and thanks. ♥

also, totally irrelevant, but “end of the season” from the description made me get a song stuck in my head. That’s the title of it and it’s by my sister’s fiancé’s band. hahah.
PS! I was rereading articles from “Beginnings” and it made me remember just how in awe I was of Rookie when it first came out. I’m still in awe! I don’t know what I would do without Rookie.
