2 summers ago this song and everything about it was just so amazing and perfect. It felt like paradise. This year things have been a little hard and recently more problems have come up and it really stressed me out so I decided to go over some of my past playlist to find some old songs I might confide in and I found this song and the other songs in the album and it made me feel and reminisce those old amazing feelings I got 2 summers ago. It felt like I was in paradise for a blissful second and reminded me that even when I was just in quarantine with just my family and myself i was extremely happy, motivated, and content. It reminded me that there was still hope for happiness just like that summer. <3
