I used to LOVE the feeling of sun on my skin. I would be the brown girl sitting in the sun 'tanning' away with the other white folks because I could never get enough of the sun. I never understood the people who would run and hide from the sun. They wanted the summer but did not want the sunny sun.
Somehow, that feeling changed in the last two years. I could not stand the sun. I understood what everyone was talking about. Two painful sunburns later (and yes, apparently brown people ALSO burn- *sigh*), and working with kids all day in the humid, horrid sun, I could no longer bear the sun. I started hiding from the sun every chance I got. I found shades, sat in part of bus or cars where the sun would not hit me or at least, not hit me hard. I actually wished for winter!!!
But that feeling has gone now. I am back to loving the sun. I felt the warmth of it when I was on the bus going to school. It was a long ride. the sun started being warm and soothing in the cool autumn day and then, it started to get quite hot--- BUT I LOVED IT. The feeling was soooooooooo nice. I just sat through that entire ride with a smile plastered across my face in a daze (and no, I don't get high- EVER).
And now, I'm sitting in my house with the sun streaking and shining on me... It's so soothing.
