I told you I would write back soon. How are you today? As always, I am great. I am getting my rambling spirit back. Though it wasn't even probably a month ago that I was sitting in downtown Boone, I cannot help but wish I was there again right now. You see Boone has this really great record store. Which right here where I live there are no record stores. Well unless you count Goodwill, which I do not.
Honestly though, I like to use the record store as an excuse just to go up to the mountains. Like Ashville, Boone is wonderful. Somewhere in the crisp cold air you hear music everywhere. Which is the most amazing feeling in the world. I can almost feel the music running through my veins as I walk through the town. You can see people trying to get rid of the hippies, but to me that is the culture of these places and without them they would not be wonderful like they are. If you get rid of the culture, then you destroy these places are.
One thing I really would love to be able to do is go to downtown Hendersonville. For the last two years I have missed the Chalk It Up Festival. I would really like to go and participate in it. Though I would have to say my sidewalk chalk drawing is probably a little shabby here lately. Either way, I would have a wonderful time.
Here where I live, they don't encourage drawing on the downtown sidewalk in chalk. I don't think they mean to oppose it so much, I just believe they are scared of what they do not know. An age old problem. You would believe us smart enough to learn from our past mistakes, however history seems to repeat itself over and over and over again. Luckily, every generation seems to have a group of kids who have the willpower strong enough to oppose the conformity. Who are not afraid to standup and make a difference. Who are not afraid to love. And some would argue all we need is love. Or maybe I really need to watch Across the Universe because the entire movie is stuck my head.
Either way I hope you have a wonderful day.
Sincerely your fan,
Brittani
