I experienced hypomania for a couple of months this year; it seems like I easily fall in hypomania during summertime 🏖️

This time I want to share a t-shirt based on a novel, we will see if you can recognize the novel without searching on Google!

A couple of hints:

- there is a red balloon 🎈 and a paper ⛵ on the left side
