Under a Warm Summer Breeze

Under a warm summer breeze, young people find it rather difficult to sleep. Old people need to wake up to daily obligations and young people stay up for nightly conversations.

A warm summer breeze invites cheer. It invites one to gather with their fellow insomnia-affected loved ones who have nothing better to do than accept the invitation and sit in a circle and allow their insomnia to thrive. During these times, young people may indulge themselves in scary movie marathons, driving and cruising around night hotspots, hanging around outside pizza stores, or simply taking a ukulele or guitar to the beach and dipping their toes in the fine white sand whilst listening or playing or singing along to music.

Warm nights initiate boredom. While older people are snug and tucked into their beds, sound, literally sound asleep by snoring, ensuring that nobody else would sleep, younger people are suffering as the seductive breeze seeps into the cracks in their windowsills and enters their sinuses and pulls them up from their inability to slumber and makes them yearn to escape from their comfortable beds and want to partake in spontaneous activities which mostly keep their adrenaline pumping.

Warm nights test curfews. They push the limits that parents set and succeed because of the fatigue that the humid breeze brings. Young people remain ecstatic and restless in this humidity, in that other than feeling fatigued they feel energized, as though some chemical inside the humid breeze is alluring their energy levels to donate their daily collectings.

Above all, under a warm summer breeze, one is utterly entranced by the mystical silence and the brief feeling that tells them that for the duration of this breeze, they are invincible.
