Summer finally feels like it’s on its way. The rare sunny days between rain showers are often intensely hot—like something big is about to happen. Summer always makes a dramatic entrance. When the heat gets too overwhelming, I just want to dunk my head into an ice bucket. I even cut my hair short, hoping that this summer, life will feel stifling but crystal clear. Today, let’s talk about how glass reflects the light and shadow of daily life.

On hot summer days, the heat scrambles my brain. Just an hour walking outside leaves me dizzy and drenched. I usually sneak into an air-conditioned café, not even caring if I catch a cold—I just want that icy Sicilian coffee to arrive fast. The asphalt is shimmering with heat, and the world ripples before my eyes.

That Sicilian coffee, dark and deep in a clear glass cup—glass is such a fascinating material. The darker the drink, the more opaque the cup looks. The only thing sparkling is the condensation trickling down the sides, like my own sweat running in sync with the glass.

The real brightness of a Sicilian coffee comes after the first sip—lemony tartness, fizzy bubbles, a sensation that makes life itself shimmer. The cup may not look transparent, but with each sip of that cool drink, it feels like the light inside me starts to refract. Staying cool in summer is about becoming the glass itself.

At night, I like a drink—nothing too heavy, so I go for a Highball: whiskey with soda water. It’s like an old man turning young again, the rebellious refreshment of the season. Add a slice of lemon and—Highball! Life knocks out a perfect hit.

If you’re not into alcohol, a chilled black tea with ice works wonders. The cold tea, the tingling chill in your nose—it’s the reckless flavor of summer and a throwback to youthful memories. When your mood’s uneasy, fill a glass with ice, watch light scatter across your hands, and suddenly, life feels a bit brighter.
