onto today’s topic: i despise the heat 🧑‍🚒 

i’m canadian. i’m not built for this weather.

it’s not even summer anymore. why is the bay a furnace in october???? at this point, winter is going to make it higher on my season tier list.

hot take but i’d rather be freezing than sweating. the heat drains my energy, ruins the vibe for any plans i make, and makes it impossible to get any work done. it makes me extremely drowsy and i find it really difficult to focus on doing any deep work. it’s MISERABLE. 😵 

i like when the temperature is just neutral: i can wear both short sleeves and sweaters comfortably. it’s perfect and i feel refreshed.

this morning, i filled my water bottle up with just ice and nothing else. not even exaggerating, 5 minutes later and it was completely melted. i thought i would be taking cool, refreshing autumn walks by now. instead, i’m fighting for my life trying to make it to an ice cream place and survive in this heat.

not to mention, this heat was completely random. 2 days ago it was a nice 15ºC throughout the day, perfect. take me back to sweater weather — layering on clothes to get warmer is so much easier than trying to escape the heat. 🌡️ 

do you prefer the heat or cold?
