A few words about snow, youth and the beauty of life. · 3:31pm Nov 19th, 2022
I'm feeling extremely cozy. Snow fell today, lots of snow, and I just sit here, alone for a while, beside a fireplace, wrapped in my warm sheets, playing some games as my workload isn't so tragic this week. It's beautiful.
I remember moments like this from when I was little, but I didn't - couldn't - admire them in all their glory back then. For me, it was just another day, another dawning of the sun in an unending row of uninterrupted joy. Or, to be more accurate, barely interrupted. Ah, these moments of youth, when snow meant more fun than issue and rain called for a splash; how I miss that.
My bones aren't old and my physical health is as good as it can be, and yet I have to say that... adulthood still brings with itself an end to a certain era in life, and while this isn't anything new being said, it is important. No longer can I truly taste the sunlight for what it's worth, without worrying for sunburns. No longer can I bathe in the snow without thinking about slipping. Realising this is... a strange feeling, and yet it's there.
However, this realisation brings with itself one more thing - coziness, when time as such comes. I remembers those times of yore, think about them, and suddenly, I'm back there for a minute or two, not thinking about life, but reveling in this warmth and joy. Of course, provided the cirumstances are right.
And for this reason, despite all the trouble that it brings, I want this snow to stay for as long as it can.
I wanted to share these few thoughts with you, friends. Thanks for being here. Now I'm off to play Stellaris while the day's still on and the snow reflects sunlight. <3
Oh my god I wanna be there with you, that sounds so amazing, we could just sit and watch movies together under a blanket and be cozy togetherr
Okay that sounded a little strange but oh my word that sounds awesome, we haven't gotten snow yet, and Thanksgiving is coming up and oi. Ye

It's not strange at all!
This actually makes me feel a little warm inside, knowing that I have friends like this. Okay, maybe more than a little.
And I agree, it would be absolutely great!
I hope you at least get to have some snow soon too; after all, who knows?
