There’s all the bright lights and noise of Fourth of July, Memorial Day, and Labor Day, or even the beach. There are so many social expectations we struggle with. And the heat itself can be overwhelming. Does anyone else find summer heat to be completely draining? It’s so much mental and emotional labor…
I’m not a fan of either extreme, absolutely love Spring & Autumn. I wouldn’t say that Summer is a struggle for me, but I definitely see how it can be a slog for some people.
I never understood the fascination with the beach, though…it’s where dirt meets water. [insert “WTF!?” face]
I have a bath-tub & an imagination, I’m good…
Through my public meltdowns in years past, my friends & family have learned to accommodate my people-ing issues, but yeah, that learning curve was rough.
I love every season but summer, but autumn is my favorite for coffee and all things apple.
[edit to add: Summer is very draining for both of us. I don’t have angry meltdowns, but I just break into a tired ball of roastedness and it being hard to think right. My mother just sleeps a lot and roasts. Heavens forbid we don’t drink enough.]
