Don't be a Summer Bummer
This year has been a wild ride to say the least and it’s only June. 2020 was going to be my year. From the pandemic, to getting furloughed, to protests, it has been tough to stay positive and see the light at the end of the tunnel. Usually around summertime I have events, weddings, concerts, and parties to look forward to, most of which have been cancelled due social distancing. This year has been going a lot different than expected, yet I am really trying my best to stay optimistic!

PREPARED AND ACTIVE
“Let Fate find us prepared and active. Here is the great soul – the one who surrenders to Fate. The opposite is the weak and degenerate one, who struggles with and has a poor regard for the order of the world, and seeks to correct the faults of the gods rather than their own.” - Seneca, MORAL LETTERS, 107.12

Shedding Skin
Sitting atop an oceanside bluff, listening as the echoing clap of waves fizzle into a delicate sea simmer. The pink sun is swallowed by the distant shoreline as I peer out to the horizon. Summer is reborn--a time of pure bliss that comes once a year, filled with intangible, precious memories. Spontaneous road trips, carefree campfire adventures, and deep conversations that go late into the starry night. What characterizes the season is its arid, tropical climate, but what sticks with us most are the outdoor excursions, vacations, and the indescribable nostalgia of our childhood traditions. To put it lightly, the summer of 2020 is unlike any other--our world is navigating a tumultuous pandemic, experiencing tragic events that have spawned radical social change. Humanity has been dealt unwarranted changes that have knocked many off of their feet, postponing major milestones and events such as graduations, weddings, and national conventions. Despite these ever-changing circumstances, we all owe it to ourselves to take advantage of the summer and focus on its true meaning: happiness.

Are you happy?
Knowing your purpose Are you happy? If not, are you trying to make everybody else happy? This is not your purpose. You were not born to please everybody; it is not your responsibility. If you are trying to make everybody happy – stop it – you are attempting the impossible. You will end up miserable and sad.

Ultimate Summer Bucket List
Many of us are currently feeling nostalgic for summertimes past -- ones that weren’t so socially-distanced. We’ve entered into uncharted territory recently, both as a global population and as individuals. The last few months have forced us to pull back the curtain, and confront issues that are uncomfortable and painful. We’ve been faced with a spectrum of emotions, often grappling with feelings of loneliness and helplessness. However, despite the tragedy and loss our world has endured, the last few months have also brought unexpected gifts, like self-reflection, gratitude and kindness. There will still be some of my favorite summer staples (as pictured - hellllooo rosé), but this time around, my summer plans look a little different, because I’ve found there are parts of “life during lockdown” that I feel are definitely worth preserving.

The Power of Procrastination
Going into blanks is nothing short of the reality of the world. With a busy week full of events good & bad its compelling to realize the act of not wanting to look back at any of it. I wonder how the mind works in the sense of it all. In a state of doing all the things on your list.
