then there is the winter when you casually just realize that you haven't seen the sun in weeks, maybe event months because you leave for work before the sun rises and go home after it sets and in the weekends you are inside recovering from the workweek.

But still i like to say that it takes the whole winter to yearn for the summer but it only takes one day of summer to want it to be winter again.

That, and more energy. I swear something got fucked up at the factory when they made me. I'm a terrible scandinavian. I am prone to pretty intense winter depressions and I'm not a fan of the cold either. I have been so far down the dumps during the winter seasons that I have blacked out entire months and have no memory of what I did and my spouse is like "yeah, you basically spent two months sitting in the same corner of the home when you weren't working, just looking gone, dude." And when I have winters where I feel like I did pretty good and didn't get depressed my man still goes "yeah, nah. You were depressed af. Just not vacant this time".

On the flipside I have been giddy like a kid walking for hours in flip-flops in Mediterranean mountains, getting slow cooked by the summer sun. I remember last time I was visiting Greece with my parents and we walked all morning until noon to get to a nice little beach across the mountains and a couple of locals saw us coming and were fucking horrified that we had come all that way on foot, lol.
