went to the beach to watch the annual fireworks with elaha, yodit and our best friend alex fairlie.

there were so many bugs. i would look out into the distance – past the sand and to the water – and all the bugs made it look like a static-ridden scene playing on an ancient tv.

i think a few bugs might’ve flown into my ear, and elaha couldn’t take it so she started to freak out and hide herself in my sweater.

but still, we enjoyed the fireworks. they’re so pretty. they make it look like God is painting the sky and all his colours drip like falling stardust.
