The Moon That Saved My Day

I was in a funk today and didn’t want to do anything. I practically just breathe and try to survive. The thought of being NEET is back. But as I contemplated being a fully neet instead of a nomad, my mom was on the balcony picking up her laundry and yelled, “ the moon looks very bright!”. “ Bright??” I thought for a second. Then, I stood up and walked to the balcony. It had that reddish color and I remembered the strawberry moon that I just wrote about a few days ago. IT WAS THAT.

Apparently, in Indonesia the strawberry moon is visible from 5:51 and I capture those pictures around the same time. But there was another problem, my battery almost died, so I only captured a few of it. But I was proud because I could see this rare phenomenon instead of having to wake up at around 4 or even 5 in the morning. After the reddish phase was over, I went to the gym. Though I didn’t go for long unlike what I had to, I didn’t break my record of going to the gym & sports center 6x/week.

Right after I got back from the gym, the moon was bright but it was not reddish anymore. It is fully bright and very visible. On my way back, the driver looked at the moon and then look at me and where my camera was pointed to.

As you can see, I put some progression from the first time I captured it at around 18:21 to before 7 PM. I also tried making look as if it was peeking through the trees but looks like I still need to learn.
