Despite being a double Cancer baby I also struggle in the summer Maya! I really wish we lived in a society set up with a siesta style break in the middle of the day. Midday summer sun is too much, but I have come to love the cool early mornings and late summer twilight. Thanks for sharing xo
maya, thank you for sharing all of this! It's really helpful to see others share about how the seasons feel for them (and the particular challenges!) I feel like summer is expected to be this perfect, playful, and like you mention, overly-booked time (especially over here in the northeast, but I also think this is present in CA, but maybe to a bubbling over/constant extent? eek). but in reality, my body has limits, often more than other people's. thank you for your perspective, and the reminder about the new moon! x
it's so interesting how knowing your limits can set you free? it's not a perfect system but I find that I spend less time feeling anxious and more time embracing and feeling good about what I know I can do. there is definitely some grief associated with all of this, but I feel much better about all of it than I did before. xoxo
