Late August has this strange double energy. Summer is still here. You can feel it in the heat and the light. But there's this back-to-school vibe creeping in everywhere. New backpacks on display. Office talk shifting to fall projects. That mental clock ticking down. And if you're not careful, you start treating these last weeks of summer like they're already over. Like the good part already happened and now you're just waiting for September to make things official.
