❝ the start of my holiday

freedom for just one week

feels good to get away ❞

summer 1972

this year, the atmosphere was especially cheerful. every person around me seemed so relieved to finally be able to experience warmer weather and make new memories. i had nowhere to go, and no one to see so i stayed. i worked every day at a music store in brighton. it was a popular spot for younger people to stop by, particularly at this time of year when everyone is on holiday, to pick up their favorite record and hang out. i didn't mind it at all. i loved watching each person come in and look around with their friends or lovers. the heavy weight of all responsibilities was lifted off the backs of students and hard workers.

for the time being, everyone seemed so free.
