On Summer Heat Back to Journal →
Saturday, August 23, 2025
August always makes me miss the West Coast. I do way better as a human in 50-70° weather than I do in 70-90° weather.
That being said, I’ve made an effort to embrace the parts of summer that make the East Coast special. To me, that means dining al fresco, finding shady parks, and enjoying the cool breeze whenever it comes around.
