Actually Asten

Every year I tell myself, “Maybe this will be the summer I enjoy.”

Every year, I am wrong.

Don’t get me wrong—I love blue skies. I love flowers. I love long evenings.

What I don’t love is feeling like I’m slowly being roasted alive.

Give me:
☕ Hot drinks.
👕 Sweatshirts and hoodies.
🍂 Crisp autumn walks.
🎄 Christmas music (yes, even before December).
🕯️ Blankets and cosy evenings.

Instead, summer gives me:
🥵 Constant sweating.
🪭 Sleeping that’s somehow impossible.
🫠 The annual debate over whether moving into the freezer is socially acceptable.

People always say, “You can’t complain—we only get a few weeks of sunshine!”

I absolutely can… and I will.

I’m an autumn girl through and through.

Roll on September (birthday month 🎉), October (hoodie season 🍂), and then the magical run-up to Christmas. That’s when I come back to life.

Anyone else counting down until cosy season?
🍁❤️
