Statement: This swing holds many memories, from having to have someone to watch the swing so you don't run into a tree, to putting smoke bombs on it during the 4th of July. In the back is the old wooden fort that I used to play on A LOT, and the reason why it's so special is because it's been there basically for my entire life. I also dropped a cinder block on my foot up there. These things represent my love for my house where I'm growing up, and my love for the backyard that I've spent years of my life nearby. I love that swing and the backyard, and even though the wooden fort is gone now, it still holds memories.
