This is my favorite feeling, I think.

It’s the smell of rain

Or the last day of school

It’s a bag of old stuffed animals sitting at the bottom of the stairs,

waiting to go Goodwill

It’s staying up late

Or buying a new calendar

And visiting your hometown

It’s finishing your favorite book for the third time

It’s the feeling of leaving something behind; not for good, but just for now.
