Because nothing really happens. In India it is monsoon season already (starts in July). In Taiwan it is island summer and people are sick of this because it's been too hot for awhile. In the UAE an endless dead heat and no one steps out if they can afford it. It's also the month before things start to cool down (late September onwards) and festivities amp up. Long languid days of nothing, when there's festivities in other months. Or seasonal changes... this is a total dead end of a month.
Perfection.

My birthday is in August, so that’s one reason. But also, I love how it’s the peak summer month- everyone is doing their own thing, enjoying the outdoors, maybe on vacation somewhere, there’s just that slow leisurely summer lull. Then Labor Day and September roll around and then everyone starts to synchronize and get back into gear once again. That back to school feeling never really goes away!

I’ve famously always said June should be the first month of the year. It is when the year truly begins. I’m not even awake or paying attention to anything until the sun starts setting past eight. The anticipation of summer is over but you still have the whole thing in front of you.

It’s the middle of summer. It’s hot as fuck. I have a little bit of a tan (but mostly I’m red) and I spend every second I can in a body of water, natural or otherwise. Watermelon, cold beer, endless sunlight, tank tops, relentless heat, and everyday optimism.

it's totally cool to age and society still isn't equipped to deal with that.

Sometimes you try your best and everything seems to hit the fan no matter how much you try, so you take that raincheck and take yourself out for a day.

This is what I call it hahahah made by mums everywhere but the greased up version is sold along stalls in Mumbai. Two regular slices of white bread, buttered, and the middle filling is cream cheese with red onions, coriander/cilantro, tomatoes and some minced chillis. All veggies chopped mini cube size so they blend with the cheese. Toasted crispy.
