Beyond the door is opportunity, industry, and economy.
Beyond the door is sustenance and entertainment.
Beyond the door are challenges.
Within the door there is austerity.
Within the door there are limitations.
Within the door there is comfort.
Life beyond the door sounds enticing. Life beyond the door offers the promise of things to do, places to go, and people to see. But life beyond the door will create stress and sweat.
Life within the door promises nothing. Life within the door imposes limits. But life within the door provides air conditioning.
That's right- air conditioning.
This has not been a statement about expanding horizons, taking the road less traveled, or pursuing passion in spite of difficulties. This has been about air conditioning.
Window air conditioner units are all that stand between me and this sweltering weather. Therefore, while there's a list of things I'd like to do around the house, there's not a chance I'm leaving my haven of cool air, no matter how limiting it may be.
My only escape seems to be the office. What a life.
Dear June, why so hot? Why so humid?
