Throughout my own summer, I shared a friendship that had happened over 2 years ago. Cory and I shared a love of music, art, coffee, film, humor, and sometimes even nature. Though he was older than I was. He was certainly the Elio in our story. We loved that story so much. While visiting my grandparents, he and I couldn't stop talking to each other over the phone because of how far I was and he was far from me. Our texts would last a few hours, but I spent equal time with my family and him. During the middle of our vacation, I found out I had picked up Covid from the plane ride to see my family. So my mother, my uncle, and I went to spend three days in a hotel to prevent my grandparents from getting ill with the virus. We each got a room for ourselves to prevent either of us from getting the other sick a second time. I told Cory, and he and I continued talking all night. He made sure I was never alone in my hotel room. One special night he and I picked out Call Me By Your Name and watched the film. Of course, I cried at the end, and he asked me, " Would you call me by your name?" My heart started to beat fast. Like it was rattling a cage inside my torso, kicking and pushing my chest and my back. And so we did. A week or so, I told him while wandering around an aquarium with my friends that walking with him was like hearing a choir play music every time he took a step. We called the feeling "Alto," and whenever the two of us couldn't express our feelings verbally or wanted to say more than just "I love you." We said, Alto. Movie nights, college events, milkshake dates, and playing video games together seemed last so long. Still, they felt short compared to the life we desired. We both unofficially (because neither of us had rings and were broke) proposed to each other. I was Mr. Ackerman, and he was Mr. Kruse. After 5 months of romance and friendship, we felt estranged and grew distant. I searched for where that lost love could have run off to, but after a couple poor decisions and listening to my folks' disapproval of dating a boy. We decided it was best to end our dating. That, unfortunately, ended our friendship too. I couldn't really tell you what's going on with Cory now. All that he has is someone new, and he is living his best. I'm still in college listening to and watching Call Me By Your Name. I feel sad every now and then. Missing the memories we shared, but I receive an odd sense of joy that he's being loved on and quite possibly loved more than I could have loved him by someone new. So Cory, if you are reading this. Alto, thank you for giving me a story. I can be proud to say I lived. Thank you for helping me live and not just survive.

This makes me feel a certain type of way. A way I didn't even know I could feel. If you just stumbled upon this as I did, I want to remind you that you're powerful and I wish you love, success and true inner happiness. You deserve it.

Lake Annecy indeed

You wake up one lazy afternoon, guided by a hazy mind telling you to go somewhere. With not a worry in mind, you follow where this inner voice leads you. The gentle breeze rides your back as you walk down an alleyway in a foreign, but quaint town. Time passes, and the road ahead of you continues. The town is behind you, wilderness takes over. The trees seem to hide a pretty little secret. Entranced, you pull away the curtain of branches and see a field lays in front of you. The sun hides behind the mountains now, and drowsiness kicks in. You lie down in the grass, yielding your senses to nature. You soon fall asleep with your favorite tune playing in your head.

It gives me such inexplicable joy when a popular film brings masterpieces such as Une Barqur Sur L'Ocean to people's attention

Italy is overrated until you experience life somewhere else. It's far from the perfect country, but Italians also take a lot of things for granted that they suddenly miss when they go abroad. It's very difficult to explain to non-italians (or non-europeans as a whole), it's not about money or some other hard economic indicator, it's about the little things that surround us and that we do in the mundane, every-day life that we barely pay attention to.
