Roses

Don’t stop and smell the roses.

It’s the worst possible thing to do if you’re not looking for love. And I wasn’t, but when I stopped and smelled the roses, literally, something happened to me. Or really, someone. My name is Kit Rossi and this is my story.

And yeah, I’m probably the only girl you’ll ever find not searching for love but it’s not like I don’t like guys. It’s just that in everyone’s mind, summer is about one of those short and sweet summertime loves. But I don’t want my summer to be about that. If I’m finding a guy this summer, I want it to be for keeps and no one believes in that. It’s like it’s against summertime rules or something.

Either way, my summer definitely didn’t come out to be the way I pictured it. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Let’s start from the beginning.
