my father has always been very adamant about putting sunscreen on the tops of your feet.
apparently it's one of the easiest places to burn because it's so forgettable.

lately, I've been feeling like this summer isn't really summer.
I'm sure this is a collective feeling.

but today, I got in a pool for the first time since last year.
I burned the tops of my feet.

I had to hide it from my dad, but it made me feel a little more alive.
