After ruling out summers that are competing among the best, cartoonist Flavita Banana chooses 2025. "I'd probably say 2026 next year, that's the fun of it," she explains with a smile. She's as excited as possible about looking back as possible; she's not very nostalgic. She has plans for the coming weeks: short trips, beach or river getaways. She calls it the small life; that's how she likes it: "I'm increasingly able to appreciate when I'm happy in the present moment." She's convinced that this perception has a lot to do with the fact that she hasn't had a drink in a year and a half. If you compare it to past summers, everything looked good in the photos, but if you stop to think about it, things weren't like that when alcohol was involved. "Now I'm more present and future-oriented," she says with satisfaction.
