Taking a break from *gestures vaguely at everything* to acknowledge that summer has, in fact, arrived. To all the people who have been wishing for warmer weather since last autumn, you did it! Congratulations! Now, please stop. The current state of everything is hard enough without also having to navigate the literal gates of hell.
In case I was being too subtle, I’m not a fan of oppressive summer heat (pronounced: anything over 85°F). However, I appreciate the reminder to slow down (literally) and drink some water. Along with all the sunshine and warm weather, summer comes with its own set of expectations, and those expectations often neglect to accommodate basic needs like rest and hydration.
So, consider this your reminder. Amidst the flurry of summer activities, don’t forget to slow down, rest, and drink some water. And, maybe reapply your sunscreen too.
Okay, back to the *gestures vaguely at everything*.
Be Kind. Be Brave. Stay Awkward. Stay hydrated and wear your sunscreen.
Onward & Awkward
