Used, Abandoned, and Slowly Rusting

We went out to the farm to celebrate Vince’s 40th birthday. He threw a big party with a band, catered food, and launched fireworks for about 50+ people. We set up a tent in the shade of the edge of the woods and camped over night. It was hot until the sun went down, but the portable fan I brought with me took the edge off. Honestly, I thought it would be a more uncomfortable day, but it was quite pleasant.

While everyone else also celebrated the birth of our country, I couldn’t help but feel like everyone was missing the point. There’s no reason to celebrate this place right now. The behavior of our government is nothing to be proud of, and I’m embarrassed to call myself American at the moment.
