This is just a random post but it’s been snowing on and off all day here in the town I live in (I won’t say everywhere in Canada because I don’t think it’s likely).
I used to love winter but then it started affecting my mental health. I used to snowboard and skate and do a bunch of winter activities that I no longer partake in for a variety of reasons.
But watching the snow falling outside as it gets darker and darker out, there’s something hauntingly beautiful about it.
I know that not everyone likes winter or gets to experience it but despite how crappy it can’t be but you can’t deny that it does have its own beauty.
It’s so peaceful and calming to watch. It’ll always have a special little place in my heart.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk 🙃🖤

I do! I try to still get outside for some fresh air and some exercise. I also like taking pictures of the scenery, just wish I had a better camera to capture what my eyes are seeing 😅
My pleasure. I read in another thread that you enjoyed the poetry of Edgar Allan Poe, that your mother read you his verse, which I think is wonderful.
My mother didn't read poetry, but there was a nice library just down the block from where I lived growing up and I found Poe there (or maybe he found me). His poetry quite literally changed my life.
You know, it's funny, but I was one of those who, well, maybe not "hated," but who just didn't see what was so great about Shakespeare...until I read the Sonnets...then I got it.
Also love Robert Frost (even if it's cliché to say so😹) and so many others...it is hard to narrow it down.
I agree. For the most part I love the cold, I have an easier time warming up rather than cooling down but that’s just me and even then I don’t go out much these days 😅
I agree 100% I feel like not many people appreciate it which is totally fair, it does get bland after a while. Guess it just all boils down to perspective 🙃
Right if you have to deal with it all the time I understand why you are fed up with it😂😂. In Southern US it comes for a few days and we love it then its gone😂😂
When it snows and snows, I like the quiet, as if the world pauses. I wish I could make the world pause so I could catch up to where I'm supposed to be. Of course, even if that were possible, I would never catch up, Some of you most likely know that.
I live in CO, and it used to snow a great deal here but lately over the past 10 years it's gotten less and less. I really miss the good snows,even the ones that snowed us in for a few days. Like some have mentioned, it allowed us to stop for awhile and just be us instead of the mad rush all the time. I prefer the cold as for myself because I don't do very well in hot weather. Even in the winter, I like it just a slight bit cooler in the house. I like to watch the snow when it's light but steady and blowing the same way, there's something tranquil about it.
We had a bad ice storm in ‘98, to the point where telephone wires were so covered in ice that the were toppling over. I guess it was to the point where the power was out for about a week, I don’t remember it because I was still young but I guess since then the winters have been hit and miss. Sometimes it starts snowing at the end of October and others it starts snowing in January.
Winter has a power all of its own in its stillness and tranquility. Plus who can deny how it looks on trees, or how forests look with it. Maybe that’s just me 🤷🏻♀️
I used to sleep with my window open during the winter. When the heats on, I get flushed and obviously overheat. In the summer I usually get heat exhaustion from anything 19+, which sucks but it is what it is.
Im glad that you find peace in the snow or the winter, not many people do (although this post is proving me otherwise) 😊
I enjoy the winter and like to read and drink coffee so the cold really appeals to me. It’s 18 degrees in my corner of the world. I wish I didn’t have to run errands today but once I’m out, my anxiety is better, just need to push myself sometimes.
