Aw, I love this album! I wish I had friends like that. Also, I’m listening to Atmosphere by Joy Division and it fits perfectly.

I dream of a summer much like this one, but I end up cooping myself indoors being the anti-social creature I am.

These photos reminds me of Selena Gomez “Hit The Lights” video and “Cherry Bomb” movie. It’s good, that’s what I’m trying to say.

these all feel like stills from a movie i would love to see
lauren, your work is always amazing but these are some of my favorites

I told you last night how much these inspired me. I see all of our friendships and our love for each other preserved so honestly and beautifully. Looking at these again make me teary eyed. They show a value system that I find to be true, of love, friendships, and relationships of the highest degree. I feel so much love from these and I see so much happiness. I feel as if I get some sort of ecstatic truth from viewing these. I love you :0)

Such wonderful days! These pictures so perfectly capture the magic of summer in tkpk, of bare feet and glitter and the hole in the fence by the train tracks. I love you lots, Lauren.

As gorgeous as all these photos are its slightly depressing that my summers can never amount to anything as exciting as all the photo albums on rookie:(/:)
