Today I stepped outside just to run across the street to get a coffee and had no idea that it was a whopping 56 degrees out. As the sun hit my face and I stripped away my jacket, a literal tear sprang to my eye -- not only have I been desperate for warm weather and a cool breeze, but I also felt that feeling in the pit of my stomach, that first inkling of the end-of-the-semester buzz from undergrad. The feeling of premature fomo -- that if I go to class, I'll miss out on these moments in the sunshine with my friends, the last ones before we part for the summer. It made me miss blowing off my responsibilities and sitting in the Boston Common with iced coffees and a joint, shivering because it's still a bit too cold, but not caring because the Vitamin D was just so damn delicious and the time together was too precious. I love New York and I love being done with undergrad, but every so often I get a pang of longing for that time. Today I sat by myself in the park and soaked it up, for once comforted by the fact that I'm not going anywhere, and that it will only get warmer and sunnier from here.

It's far harder to do now that Upstate has entered its "perpetual overcast" season, but sunbathing is probably my favorite thing to do. I have a class that has me right in front of a window, and yesterday, the sun came out for approximately 20 seconds. When I felt her warmth grace the back of my neck, I nearly sobbed.
If you live in a place where the sun is out often, please sunbathe in my honor, I beg. I envy you and hope you do not squander your chance to bathe in that warm, delicious sunlight. If you live in a place where that sweet, sweet sunlight is harder to feel, just know you're not alone. I hope you find comfort in knowing we are suffering together.

Winters are a depressing, polluted sludge in my new city, every day for weeks has just been drab and gray. The first sparks of sunlight hitting me as I just switched to working from home and these good signs are filling me with hope!

i could literally stay in child’s pose for hours but i fear when i came out of it i would have a permanent red circle on my forehead. it opens the hips and releases built up tension, it clears the sinuses, it relieves headaches, it’s a good stretch for the shoulders, it stimulates the third eye point…yoga with adriene describes it as “entering your own personal love cave” because when you open your eyes, all you see is the little spaces between your nose and your knees and your mat, and it makes me feel like i’m chillin in the womb again in the best way. if people hit child’s pose more often i think there would be peace on earth.

it's this app where you can create a shortcut on whichever app(s) you want (i.e. social media ones you spend too much time on), and every time you open those apps, it makes you wait like 10 seconds and shows you how many times you've opened that app in the last 24 hours. has literally cut my social media usage by nearly half and makes me way more intentional about social media use bc half the time i'm opening those apps out of habit.
