It's the first day of July yet, I feel like summer is quickly passing by. When I say I was ecstatic once the leaves started budding and the sun shone long and bright; I mean I was on my roof dancing with joy that summer is here. Finally the harsh winter days are behind us. Time to bust out dresses, shorts and scandals. Time to brunch! The summer is just such a fun time. However, I can't deny this sense of sadness I feel. It feels like August is just around the corner and we know from there it's back to dark days and grim weather.
But summer just started; so why do I feel such a way? I have trips planned, festival tickets purchased, party spots reserved and beach trips scheduled. So why am I so worried about summer passing me by before it even begins. Could this be, dare I say it, anxiety?
During the winter I get seasonally depressed. The cold weather and consecutive cloudy days take a toll on my physical and mental health. My vitamin D deficiency can also become quite severe; I've researched this seemingly innocuous deficiency, and it can actually lead to heart issues. But hold your sympathy, I make sure to monitor my vitamin D intake and stay productive throughout the winter by working on my goals, such as writing and videography. But is there a summer seasonal issue I may be experiencing? How to should I remedy these feelings? These are questions I ask myself. Regardless, I will not let it overwhelm me! This is such a beloved season for me since moving up to New York. It is the time of year people are more pleasant and sociable. Networking and dating seem less hopeless during this time of the year. Every outside turf is packed with folks trying to have a good time; from the beach to the pier and park. Greenery is abundant in the trees and the blue skies stretch far.
I guess I put this out into the atmosphere to say that each season has it's ups and downs. The season may effect you in a way you don't like. However, acknowledging the feeling, processing where that comes from and looking for resolve are ways to make sure you can embrace each season with confidence.
