Has Summer Changed People’s Perception?

Has summer changed people’s perception?

In 2021 summer I was wearing a pink max mara dress getting food in the supermarkets for free. A group of people, one of them, a young person with slightly blonde hair, wearing shorts walked towards me when I came out of the waterfront farm boys. His expressions were composed of interests, flirt and impatience have made me feel struck by something deeper, a reckoning of some sort, of my sexuality. I got agitated and started to scream about having sex with him wrapping my legs around him. I walked alone to home where I used to live, 135 Isabella street. On my way back I was calmed and felt like a feral cat being comforted by the scenes of urban serenity. It was then I started to become obsessed with him, and those strangers on the streets. They were everywhere I went. They threw weddings and walked around in groups talking about stuff I just said out loud. Right after I was screaming about inviting people to this apartment I saw. And then I got evicted. I called Alex banman. He agreed to let me stay at his place. In the middle of the nights I heard sounds upstairs again exact sounds I heard at the 135 Isabella street. I was upset and agitated. I argued with the roommate who was there playing bass. Then we moved to another abode while staying for one day at an Airbnb. I was in Scarborough a lot making videos about the suburbs. People came and went again while I was there. It was quite funny how they biked and moved. Etc.
