Or, if you'd adopt to nap all day and absorb all night about arena animate drums with adolescent artists (formerly strangers)—go ahead. Live your truth. This surreal abeyance of amusing norms is what a weekend in the Bahamas and one spent amusing break at home accept in common—that and rum, of advance (more on that later.)

Canaries, Saint Lucia
Time is such a assemble at this point that it's a cliché for bodies on Instagram to column reminders of what day it is. No one knows what day it is—and no one cares.
