Let it go.

This summer had its ups and definitely is downs. It was packed with excitement and adrenaline. One of the highlights of my summer was gong to see my Father and going fishing with him. When we are out fishing we have plenty time to catch up since I don’t see him much. I almost enjoy that more then anything, but the thrill of fishing is amazing. We were fishing for sturgeon, and soon enough I hooked a big one which was 6’4 to be exact. It was like trying to reel in a small car, and to make it more difficult the fish was swimming with the current so I was reeling in against it. Eventually the fish was tired enough for us to bring him in the boat, and snap a couple pictures. The fish was hard to let go, because I caught it and wanted to keep him, but I couldn’t. Sturgeon are endangered species so it is illegal to keep them. The fish wasn’t as hard to let go as this girl I met. Her name is Jerri and she is from Spain. The day after I met her it felt like I knew her for weeks, because we got along so well. I started getting serious with her, but that changed when she told me she was leaving back to Spain when the summer is over. Just like the fish I thought I had a keeper, but now I have to let her go. I have gotten over the fact that she is gone, but still not the fact she might not come back. Other then the harsh reality check there was a lesson learned. This summer has taught me that you cant take anything for granted. Whether it be a fish, or a girl. The reason is what ever your taking for granted could be gone in an instant, and you may have some regrets of anything you could have or should have done. Which I don’t because I had fun with my girl before she left, and I had fun with that sturgeon.
