Can we break down the ridiculous amount of sheer confidence and joy that Summer has been able to unlock? There must be some kind of scientific explanation for this. Every year when the season rolls around, you witness the way extra UV rays uplift everyone along the way, from “fits to situations to fear-inducing trips.” Yes, once the summer solstice rolls around, all bets are off.
Now obviously it is important to take time away from screens, and really enjoy the wonderful warm summer breeze, but documenting your joyful summer memories is also essential. And what’s proper documentation without a strong caption to capture the atmosphere? Incomplete, that’s what.
If you experience classic IG annotation writer’s block, no harm, because we’re here to help you out. It doesn’t matter if you’re trying to write a shot of brunch, a weekend getaway at a wedding, or you just look apologetically sexy. We have options for ya, 80 to be exact. So no excuses, get out there, go live, and when you come back with the cute pics, scroll down here and take your pick from any of the captions below. Happy summer, kids!
