I chose this picture because it helps me remember one of my favorite moments and one of my favorite books. It feels like my summer in a picture – reading, sun, sleeping, staying at home. These small things like the sun and being able to take things slow makes me happy, and I can clearly remember reading this poetry book and just feeling so content with life. It shows my love for reading and how I enjoy simple pleasures. The poem is thought-provoking and beautifully written, and my memory of reading it is tangible through this picture. It’s from “Burning Sugar” by Cicely Belle-Blain. The picture reminds me that I can find joy in the small things, and that’s how I can be happy.
