Have you ever had this feeling of emptiness inside ? This feeling continuously gnawing at you ? Of which you do not know the origin but it’s still there and filling up more place with every passing day ?
This melancholia is starting to take over as we are slowly heading for a cold winter, and fall is in full bloom. Not single day goes by that we don’t see leaves redder and more flamboyant, than in any other season, with the desire to step on them and hear thi satisfactory crunchy sound.
The weather has been kind for the most part : the sun’s been quite bright and the expected downpoor has just started. We will finally be able to look out the window like in a bad drama movie, watching as droplets of water form small rivesr on the glass and trying to guess which one will come down first; and feeling stupid for cheering for the rain. Then, we will turn back on our life, on how amazingly boring it is and how little it is compared to the rest of the universe. And finally, reflecting on it, if it’s really worth it to complain about it.
It’s just this autumnal season messing with our head. Which is a bit paradoxical : red, yellow and orange, which embody autumn, are suposed to be bright and warm colors, so how can they be so depressing at the same time ? The only good news : Halloween and all the candies that go with it.
But in the mean time I’m getting restless waiting for the winter that has yet to come. Will the trees, devoid of their leaves, but hopefully covered by a blanket snow, cheer us up ? I’m sure global warning will ensure a lot of beautiful and pure white snow. Also, climate change means harsher winters which means you will have to cover yourself more : the fashion world will be in turmoil “Did you see the this new Gabanana coat ?” “Yeah but I’m more excited by this overpriced Channelston hat !”.
And how can we not talk about Christmas when talking about winter ? One of the most cherished holyday. The only moment when it’s acceptable to tell children that an old man will break into the house to deposit presents and that it’s ok to play with them.
So are you ready for the rollercoaster of emotions ?
