Two Moods

There are two moods in this world.

One is born on the beach. Think Mediterranean, Southeast Asia, South America. The warm sun is crawling across the sky above you. The air is heavy, and time is moving so slowly it feels like you can see it. You’re chilling and want something chill to go with it — think freddo espresso or cold lager. Something cold that tells your soul to take a day off.

The second comes to you in the dark. Think Nordic countries, Russia, the British Isles. The sky is gloomy, it’s raining or snowing outside, and the day feels like it never fully woke up. You want the opposite — something warm to savor. A good cuppa or hot chocolate. Something hot that warms your hands before it reaches your soul.

To be happy is to let them take turns.
