Winter Blues
Why does this winter seem so oppressive? For one, I hate the darkness associated with winter. I don't believe I suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder but the lack of light bothers me none-the-less. I find the cold oppressive too. My apartment is cold as well. Once I arrive home from work, I don't want to venture outside again especially as I am long commute from downtown Boston. The snow has been relentless this winter. Every week has brought in another major snowstorm. It looks like we're going to tie or exceed some records for snowfall this season. And there is no escaping winter this year. I'm too broke to travel to sunny abodes as I have in previous years. God knows when I will find a job now that the economy is sliding into a dark abyss. It's a good thing I don't drink or take drugs otherwise I might find myself a constant abuser in this dark winter of our discontent. At least we're halfway through winter now. The days are slowly getting longer again. I just need to hang in there, put on a movie from Netflix, curl up inside my blanket, and drink my hot chocolate. Thank god for the small things in life.
