It's interesting to think about people's varying definitions of lazy. Some might wish for a cozy day on the couch with their dog; others, like you, write about the warmth of the summer sun on your skin and connecting to nature. I would never call that laziness, I'd call it medicine for the soul! I hope someday soon you have a chance to lounge beneath a blue sky and truly forget the world, "laziness" be damned!
It's funny how certain objects hold such power over us, especially the things once owned by a loved one we've lost. They can retain an almost magical quality or enchantment, one that can conjure up memories as if they were yesterday or on the other hand, remind us of just how much time has passed and how much we have changed since we saw them last. I feel this piece explores the themes of Loss and Time in a very emotionally intelligent way and with a beautiful subtlety, too.
Hi, thanks. Today was the worst of it, and the power's been out all day. A lot of trees fell, but that's what happens when you live in The Woodlands lol. Right now my family's driving to College Station (a city nearby that has power and hotels) to stay the night. To anyone else who's been affected by the hurricane, stay safe!

That was yesterday, so for your sake, if it did end up hitting, I hope you and your family are staying safe!
Thank you! I didn't think that would work, tbh, so thanks for commenting on it!
I kind of like how the perspectives are so short, it makes you focus on the details more.
This is awesome!
