Day 21: A memory from your childhood

   Fishing.
I remember fishing.

It's been years since I've fished,
but the memories of fishing away my childhood summers
are forever ingrained on my heart,
in my soul.

I was an amazing fishergirl, everyone said so.
And not just to be polite, either.
At Mountain Home Cottages, I always caught the biggest trout and perch
and impressed everyone
with my epic fishing skills...

I only did catch-and-release fishing,
I couldn't bear
to watch them suffer.
Fishing was a sport, not a matter of survival
for me,
so it was only fair
that they could swim
free again.
