Why Did Today Feel Like a Desert Mirage?

The morning started off ordinary, but by noon, the sun seemed to carry the weight of a thousand summers.
Driving to work, the heat was relentless—melting even my motivation for meetings.
It reminded me of those days when everything feels just a bit too much, yet you push through because your family waits at home.
Sometimes I wonder if this unyielding heat is just nature’s way of toughening us up or reminding us to slow down and appreciate the little cool moments in life.
