Probably with her body issues she wouldn’t want to go outside in a swimsuit. People with body issues have a particularly difficult time in the summer because of less clothing.If I had a chance to do that last panel again I would put in more tiki.
I remember seeing the comics where she’s in covered up to hide her scars in the blistering heat. Maybe if there is another scene of this you should add a Tiki.
I live where it’s always summer sort of and the sun and heat alone take half the energy I have for a day xD. All year round. Love rainy days though or used to.
Same here. The beach is withing smelling distance and I am an absolute beach bum. However, this is the third summer I’ve watched go by from my window. I’m actually hoping for a small category 1 hurricane for days and days of rain and wind.
THANK YOU, Clay, thank you! Almost no one believes be that summer S.A.D. is absolutely a thing. Which just makes me feel more isolated, shut-out, and “wrong” than ever.
Thanks so much for this! I had no idea summer SAD existed before I read this and it seems like it might explain why I tend to feel more depressed during summer. I feel like I’m trying to hide from the sun all summer and when it rains or it’s overcast I finally feel like I can go outside. I long for fall hikes and winter cross-country skiing. Summers make me feel like I’m trapped inside.

But fall and winter are my seasons and my time to shine. Fall more so, because Christmas stresses me out.
