Winter is a time for hibernating. Do the bears have the right idea?
SAD is confirmed; I am not emotionally upset, but instead, I have Seasonal Affective Disorder. As in, I miss the sun a lot.
Before I moved to LA back in 2006, I disliked winter; the dark, dreary, cold, and lack of motivation always made me feel like becoming a bear in a cave. So I have been a bear in my cave since I left Colombia.
Even though I love seeing my family, there is something about the winters. Should we all be in hibernation like the bears? Even the trees are in hibernation here, the branches void of leaves, the sky a grey tone, even if the sun tries to come out, I hesitate to go outside.
As soon as I open the door, I get a blast of cold air so strong my nose begins to sting. Since I left the north, I thought the south would be a bit warmer; it is not; it is even colder, darker, and drier, with no snow, no rain, just freezing.
What is worse, cold snow and rain or cold dry?
I know spring is coming here in the south, as I hear the birds start to sing, and a few trees do have pink buds about to bloom; hopefully, a frost does not come and delay the inevitable.
