Summer is difficult.
It's beautiful, warm, rainy,
absolutely lovely.
It's so difficult to deal with it.
I want to go fishing, go swimming, go running barefoot;
I want to do all those
summery things.
All the things I used to be able to do.
If only I still could.
Tough luck, dearie.
I just have to make do.
I can write.
I can sketch.
So that's what I do.
And the summer keeps being lovely.
I listen to the rain dancing
on the roof.
I see the sun paint the sky
in all those absolutely magnificent colours
as the sun sets and rises.
The summer keeps on being lovely.
I live by the ocean. During summer I keep being reminded of the things I could do before I had my first epileptic seizures. It *****.
