New Feelings – FALTER.maily #1097

I don’t know about you, but I never had a doubt: I just loved summer. It has been this way for as long as I can remember. It wasn’t a very hot day for me, and the beach wasn’t too crowded. But I can feel it’s different now. Something crept in completely unnoticed at first, and I have to admit: I think I had early summer feelings!

Exactly this time, these weeks, when nature turns into a spectacle rampant and powerful as if overnight; where the dawn is blue and pink and there is something auspicious in the view of the sky; Those days when it’s still too fresh for most people to go swimming, but warm enough to dare leave the house with wet hair.

This time was also something special for me in the past, but only offer July and August. I now know from experience: not much good comes from it. My beautiful summer is acting like my ugly winter. The fact that we live in a time when we need not only a cold but also a hot phone amazes me every year.

Instead of the heat luring life outside, the heat pushes people inside. Exhausting, those seemingly endless summer afternoons when the sun is so bright that the kids are better off staying indoors. Often glowing asphalt, burning earth.

So enjoy the coming weeks while the music is still playing. Things don’t get better. At least not until September. I really never loved him, but he became more and more endearing to me.

I wish you a happy evening!

Yours sincerely, Nina Bernada
