So I moved to one of the cloudier cities in the US and I relish in winter. (my tip for you: many warm-toned lamps, not too bright and not too dim… some with shades and some can lights maybe that you can point at the wall or a nice Tiffany style torchiere)

deardoveswings I grew up in the desert so the sun was truly oppressive and it was sunny something like 95 percent of the year so it felt like the seasons never changed and every negative memory I’ve ever had was accompanied by sunlight and warm weather lol 😭 I think that’s why I’m like this but I’ve heard similar things about summer FOMO causing it!!

taterhole i’m wondering if it partly stems from something similar for me since i spent a lot of miserable time in florida as a child…not having seasons and sun with like no clouds all the time was like actually draining.

Preferably in like the 50-75° F range. I lived in a place that was sunny 80% of the time for my entire life and I think I have reverse seasonal affective disorder because sunlight makes me so sad… thank god I moved to one of the cloudiest cities 🥹😍

Winters are a depressing, polluted sludge in my new city, every day for weeks has just been drab and gray. The first sparks of sunlight hitting me as I just switched to working from home and these good signs are filling me with hope!

1. Move north (lol) 2. Fantasize about cooler weather to come 3. Blackout curtains and sheer curtain panel combo to let at least some light in 4. Cool colors in the home to psyop yourself into believing you’re not being terrorized by the sun 5. go to the farmers market and enjoy Mother nature’s seasonal produce bounties 6. Get into gardening? Another way of enjoying the seasons 7. Probably romanticize your life and introduce as much whimsy as possible to cope 8. Ice cream!

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
