Grew up far north of the Mason Dixon and moved to a warmer climate; you’re not alone. You wrote out my thoughts exactly.

I curse every cold minute until I can wear shorts again because pants and skirts are awful and I hate long sleeves and socks and just all of it. That and the dark make seasonal depression go haywire even with the “shorter” winters.

Some days I dream of moving to western Ecuador where it’s ~87°F year-round.
