For me, summer represents a long awaited time to unwind after a stressful job and concentrate on my own needs, recuperation and relaxation, and to get ready for any new challenges that the rest of the year may bring.
I don't take "proper" vacations anymore, I don't travel much - I usually stay home, but I force myself to do as much as I can locally: biking, working on losing weight, sunbathing (and consequently getting sunburnt) and swimming in the nearby river, visit open air festivals and catch up with some people I rarely see during the year.
It's kind of a hopeful time for me, and it feels right while it lasts, but unfortunately it rarely turns into that expected opportunity to change the things I set to work on before the summer came. When it's over, my willingness to change my life fades away, too. It's like I'm always waiting for the next summer, and the next, and the next, although each fails to fulfil its purpose eventually.
But, hey, it's summer right now and for a while nothing else matters.
