#summerboycore

The boy ran straight out of the golden hour like joy had a deadline.

You can almost hear the splash, feel the moss-soft bank under your toes, taste the sugar-warm juice box abandoned mid-laugh. His friend doesn’t even flinch—just grins wider, a sentinel of summer’s unbreakable spell. Behind them, the mountain watches with the patience of someone who’s seen every version of this moment before. The running. The laughing. The impossible light.

Maybe it’s the glacier in the background or maybe it’s just how loud happiness gets when there’s water involved, but this feels like a memory no one will forget even if they never took the photo.

Somewhere between barefoot and soaked, they figured out the secret: don’t wait for the perfect time to jump in. Just run like it already started without you.

🧺 Recipe: 

Sun-Warmed Berry Splash Punch

A drink for barefoot afternoons by the water.

Ingredients:

500ml (2 cups) mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)

750ml (3 cups) water

1 lemon, sliced

1 tbsp honey or agave syrup

Ice cubes

Mint sprigs (optional)

1 juice box (any fruity kid-favorite—think nostalgic)

Instructions:

In a small pot, simmer berries and 250ml (1 cup) water until softened (5–8 minutes).

Mash gently and strain into a jug.

Add the rest of the water, lemon slices, honey, and stir.

Drop in the ice, swirl in the juice box for chaos and charm.
