i seriously think my bajan genes made it impossible to enjoy any other season. i have the worst circulation and summer is the only season where i’m not perpetually freezing, i’m getting enough vitamin d to keep the depresh at bay, my favorite fruits are in season, i live 5 minutes from the beach where i read and tan all day, and i can actually enjoy the outdoors.

Knowing that seasonal depression isn't coming for me or any loved ones is a big one. I love wearing shorts. I love having a full day. I love that there's this opportunity to plan things ahead of time without being worried about not knowing the weather. I love the sun. I love the smell of sunscreen and chlorine on a beach towel. I love ice cream. I know it gets REALLY hot sometimes and humid and there's mosquitos but something about all the nuanced things that make up this season make it worth it.

If you hate summer you are boring and no fun.
I am half joking…
But really all I talk and think about these days is the season SUMMER. I wish it would stop raining already in South Florida because I really need to hit the beach early this year. Starting my summer once the rain season is over and I recommend everyone to do the same

i have a love-hate relationship against the weather during summer because whenever i dont consent for it to be scorching it sucks: heat stroke
if it’s a perfect heat amount i 🤍 it then, its also my birthday season and i love the sun..

It just makes the dopamine not as easy to access. For example, swiping between posts takes forever compared to insta or tiktok, if i go out of the app for a minute, the post i was looking at will be gone so i have to dig to find it again, and i can’t seem to select and delete multiple words so i have to delete entire sentences individually which makes me more mindful about what i’m typing. idk i just feel that this app is making me rediscover that good things are inconvenient some times and that that’s rewarding.

i’ve spent most of my life searching for romantic love and thinking something was wrong with me because i never got it. i prayed even though i’m not religious, i had a box filled with manifestations of the “perfect” guy under my pillow, i tried to go after guys i knew were meh because i thought u could make the love blossom, i did honey jar spells, i changed the way i looked, the way i spoke, my interests, i did EVERYTHING. this all resulted in a slew of horrendous situationships that tore down my self-esteem. after these, i definitely worked on myself and became much more confident and sure of myself, but still thought that a relationship would be the thing to make me truly happy. at 20, i had my first real boyfriend and he was “perfect”, or at least everything i thought i had ever wanted. he was attractive, tried to pay for everything, planned the most thoughtful dates, went out of his way to see me, was incredibly intelligent, kind, loyal, hardworking, took care of me when i was sick, and even respected the fact that i’m entirely celibate (like what 20 y/o guy is ok w that??). i ended up breaking up with him after a few months because i realized that a relationship was not what i actually wanted or needed, it was just what i thought about 24/7. not saying this is you, but the steps i took after our breakup might help with your situation. diversify and expand your sources of happiness/love as no one source will make you feel truly fulfilled. i started by doing 4 things: something that expanded my mind, something that earned me money, something that fulfilled me creatively, and something that fed me spiritually. for me this was college classes, a job at a restaurant, painting, hanging out with the people that i love more often, and joining a bunch of clubs at my school. i think our society places so much emphasis on romantic love, but other types, especially the love i receive from my friends has been the most unconditional and satiating. lastly, (again not saying this is you, it’s just a common reality) expecting one person to satisfy all of your need for love is not only dangerous for you (if they leave, you’ll be crushed) but also unfair to them. maybe i‘m just yapping to yap, but i hope this was helpful.

I will create endless Pinterest boards with thousands of pins creating the aesthetic of lives I wished I lived down to the napkins in the house I want. I’ll curate playlists for these lives, read Fragrantica reviews to find a perfume that would match this persona, and write short stories about what their daily life would be. With all this time I could just be building those lives irl, but alas it wouldn’t be my vice now would it.
