you're saying this to someone who's name is colours

Stop living in Florida and you can enjoy seasons other than summer and not as hot summer.

I'm just a lot more active in the summer compared to winter. Autumn and spring are fine but I just wake up so much earlier because of the summer weather and get a lot more done with my days.
 
My mood and efficiency level seems to depend on the weather. Hence, during the summer when there is a lot more sun and light, I am happier :D
 
im a simple person

if it rains on a weekday, my mood is soured a bit because I usually plan on going places on weekdays.
if it rains on a weekend, my mood is still soured because I work unless it's a Sunday then I don't really care.

rain at night for all I care, tbh. it's more relaxing then. too bad this doesn't happen all that often.
 
There's this coffee shop place that is seriously calming. It's got a nice, plush, black leather couch and a beautiful waitress. Sigh... just thinking about it.

And does anyone find that reading books is really therapeutic, and generally makes them happier? It's like they scrub the mind free of the junk the internet puts there.
 
Actually if I sit down to read a book my hearing sense becomes annoyingly heightened i.e. I notice all the little sounds around me which makes it somewhat difficult to concentrate. It's really frustrating because I think I'd have read so many more books by now if I didn't have this annoying quirk.

Sounds rough, Yue Han! Have you tried audio books? I haven't all that much, but they're pretty fun and easy to zone into.

It's hard to find the right kind of book, though. I essentially just read fiction, and it's sometimes tricky to find an author with a satisfying writing style. Have recently been getting into simpler prose, like A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness. A truly brilliant book that's full of truth. It's sort of a tacky word to use, but its the best one out there. Like, when a sentence perfectly sums up an area of life or a feeling, and it makes you stop in your tracks... it's pretty magical. Peter and Wendy, by J.M Barrie, is abundant in that area.

That's what makes writing so worthwhile and rewarding. Summing something up well.

I do enjoy reading when my mind doesn't annoy me too much like that. I don't think I'd like audio books for myself personally though. I can myself see sitting down to listen to a book making one of my other senses play up like I'll start to feel itchy or something haha.

I did recently finish reading The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut and would like to get into more of him. Fantasy/sci-fi is where my interests lie.

Doing math used to give me an itchy nose and eyes. It was murder. So, sympathy.

And sci fi and fantasy are super interesting, huh. The Artemis Fowl series constitutes as both, and I definitely recommend it. Technically, it's for children but the layers of content and originality make it universal. Eoin Colfer is a genius.

Have you read any of the Chaos Walking books? I'm halfway through The Knife of Never Letting Go, which is the first, and it's amazing. And the movie is on the horizon, also. Tom Holland and Daisy Ridley - sounds epic.

And ahh... the song Non je ne regrette rien by Edith Piaf is so nostalgic.

I can only listen to audiobooks when I'm not supposed to be doing anything else - e.g. while working out, driving, etc. Otherwise, I wind up zoning out and have to rewind a ton. I love sci-fi and fantasy, but my true favorite genre is mystery. I've actually just recently finished listening to a series of BBC Radio adaptations of Agatha Christie books with a full cast/sound effects/etc. It was pretty enjoyable :D
