She took to her Instagram Stories to repost a post by Amada Mays . Cunningham had Camp's "Huckleberry Love" playing over the picture. It sounds like she wants to slow down and take everything in, even amidst her injury.
"I'll never understand the rush. It's August, and our feeds are already full of fall," the post began. "By October? Christmas everywhere. Every year[,] we hurry through the seasons, we hurry through life, as if where we are right now isn't enough.
"And when we rush, we miss the sweetness of this moment: long evenings on the porch, farmers['] markets on Saturday mornings, fresh salsa in the kitchen, the smell of peaches in the air, fireflies at dusk. Life already moves fast enough. Summer will come again, but you'll never be the same person you are today. We're never granted another day. Slow down. Savor this one," the post concluded.
