I feel the same way about winter! It's so nostalgic to me! I love spending time with family and making memories! I love decorating the Christmas Tree and trying to outdo my neighbors with a bit of friendly competition using our front yard Christmas Lights. I love waking up on Christmas Day and seeing all the magic and tradition around the holiday! The movies, the drinks, the decorations, basically everything! It's the kinda thing that literally "warms my heart," every time! But when the new year comes, I'm excited for a new year, new memories, and new experiences, but at the same time, I'm also quite unsure of the future.
My eyes don't know what to focus on first, there's so much to take in! But all of it, beautiful and otherworldly. I also really appreciate your description of your work to help us better understand it.
I think it's only human nature to look to our own past to discover who we are at present. I too find myself wondering about my ancestors, often -- where they came from, what they did, what their lives were filled with, and what role they had in shaping me. Maybe a genealogy website would be fun for you to pore over someday, I know my dad has found a new sense of identity in it!
Thank you so much

"Time heals all wounds" has never felt quite true to me; I imagine you feel the same. I hope you find the closure you need someday.
P.S. Treblemaker is right -- thought-provoking and well-written!

Thought-provoking and well-written, and the title really works to tie it all together. Beautiful, keep writing.
We're so happy to see you back, Lone Cat!

Thanks :)
Thanks! I’m pretty sure this is passing over a river somewhere in Maryland.
