Because no matter how much snot erupts from nowhere, that vitamin D manages to find its way into our skin and hearts. Which sounds a little bit sickening and poetic, I’m aware, but I find myself strolling down unknown streets with a huge smile plastered over my snotty face. I prance along with a spring in my step because the music in my ears, the clouds in the sky (that has finally turned blue), the smell and the sounds of summer all come together at the same time. They form some kind of kinetic wave that courses through me like charged electricity. Electric happiness or electric madness.
