Summer holidays. Trips on the islands with friends. Food and drinks in terraces. Airy clothes, wavy hair, and a golden tan. Happiness. Life at its best !
High expectations. So much pressure. ^^
What if you don’t have the money, the time or the company? What if you do go on that trip for a couple of weeks but there is still a whole summer left to spend in the city ?
Summer is salt and sand but it’s also all these other tiny things.
Red berries, ice cream, feeling the warmth of the sun on your skin. Drawn curtains and closed shutters, taking a long afternoon nap, a slice of watermelon with feta, peaches, nectarines.
Sitting on a bench in the park, reading under the shade of a tree. Going to the movies. Experimenting, indulging, taking the time.
It’s carefreeness, lightheartedness, newness.
It’s immersing into things like you would dive into the sea. Refreshing.
Release some of the summer pressure. Savour it as it is.
