I'm sorry for your loss and hope you're holding out all right my friend. Poetry is also really nice to get into, I've done a few as gifts for our gods and have made some for fun in my own spare time but mostly I'm a story writer. As for music, what would you say is your favourite instrument? I used to be decent at the piano when I was a kid but I have to say I really favour the flute.
I also wonder how you can possibly enjoy Winter since you mention it as your favourite season along with Autumn, what do you like about it? I can only really enjoy Winter's cold and dark foreboding characteristics in likeness to Saturn, it's very grounding to me and helps me slow down and centre myself. Oh and Yule, damn I love Yule and the lights and decorations, I can't wait for that, keeps me happy at the beginning of Winter and holds off the S.A.D(Seasonal Affective Disorder) and I got a good line up of movies waiting for the right time to watch. Afterwords though I just want Summer back, I need the lush green forests and flowers and honey bees buzzing about.
As for Autumn, my heart usually sinks as soon as the hours of sunlight start to reduce and it gets cold, but well, give me a bowl of pumpkin-spice oats on a windy Autumn morning, some real pumpkin patches for decor, a butternut squash casserole for dinner and I can learn to really enjoy the season and admire the colours of the trees. It keeps me happy through the cold and staves off the dread of Winter, I'm sure many could agree. Oh and Halloween candy, a cute spooky ghost lollipop more specifically, heh.
I love most instruments as I have a deep love for music, but my most favorite to play is the piano and the guitar. I am mainly a singer though! I love the freedom of singing, not being bound by an instrument all the time can be nice. And you can sing just about anywhere!
Well, I love Autumn the most, Halloween, the beautiful colored trees, the falling leaves, the stillness at night, the cool crisp breeze. It just gives me such inner peace. I feel so alive during Autumn. Oh and Winter! I never view it as dark or foreboding, to me it is so enchanting. The white blankets of snow, Yule, the coldness in the air, The winter sky, The silver trees. knowing a warm home waits for me at the end of the day. I love watching it snow. I feel like a kid all over again. It gives me this energy that I just don't have during the warmer seasons. I don't really know why I love it so much, but I do. I'm just weird like that I guess lol. I have always been like this. Must be my chart.
I have a fascination with visiting old graveyards in Autumn too, and reading the stones, you can learn a lot of history from just reading the things posted on old gravestones. I have so much fun walking around in nature during Autumn and Winter as well, not as many people are around. I have more places to explore, and more time to myself to really grasp and take in the beauty of my surroundings, without getting caught up in conversation with strangers. Not that I don't love talking with people, But sometimes I crave alone time too. I never was a Summer person, It's usually too hot, there are too many bugs, and I sweat too damn much lol. I hate being out in the heat. I get so miserable and so tired in Summer. I get easier fatigued when It's hot. I do like early spring though! I just don't care for late spring when all the wasps and ants start coming out. But it all comes down to the weather here. The weather where I live can get kind of extreme and hot during the summer. And I can barely stand the heat, It's probably my European genes. I live in America but I have some very strong Nordic ancestry lol. I prefer cooler weather. I don't mind when it's warm out. But not when it's melting my face off hot outside lol.
