Sun in Your Soul

It’s weird what one day of sunshine can do. One day of the sun can cure a lot without realizing it. A day of sun is like a free space when playing a board game, it pauses your life. Those days pause your, depression, anxiety, and all your bad thoughts and put the sun in your soul. For me, I live in a college town and whenever there isn’t any sun there isn’t anyone out, and living in Oregon isn’t the best for that. 

Before starting college I didn’t really understand seasonal depression and never thought it really meant anything. Starting my second year of college and living in a place that isn’t my first choice really impacted me. Seasonal depression hit me hard and now that it is spring term and the sun is out most of the time, I’m happier. 

A day of hammocking, working out, walking, spike ball, frisbee, or just sitting. 

Some of the smallest things can make a day better. Seeing others and socializing has been a lot harder to do this year compared to other years. Having sunny days and just seeing people walk past me or seeing new faces is something I missed.
