Winter Blues
Winter is really making its way to our land. Temperatures have dropped below zero, there are only dregs of leaves left around; heavy winter clothes are being taken out of wardrobes. These are the outside signs. With the changes outside, some changes occur within my own soul. I think I've got... the winter blues.
Winter is, I guess, my first favorite season of the year. I don't mind the cold, the snow, etc. Nevertheless, my inner self is being stirred up as I think more about myself, about the other selves that are around me; I think more about my single life, about how beautiful it would be to share part of my life with someone. I don't really understand the phenomenon, but it's there.
Summer encourages us to freedom, to forget about everything and just live fully, whereas winter suggests reunion, warmth, sense of belonging, need of a pair. In winter everything slows down; all we've left is ourselves. There's more time to meditate, to contemplate, to evaluate, to feel an emotional need, to develop this condition: the winter blues.
I wonder if there is any cure or if there is at least a medicine to help reduce the effects of this condition.

Ditto: I'm the moderator of my life. Sometime the show comes out well, sometimes is a blender, but no matter what "the show must go on". I keep running the rail... until I come to a halt!
Of course there is a cure. A rather simple one of that and it's called Russian chocolate with friends on a regular bases..
I'd suggest a more romantic cure for this condition you're telling us about. Frankly, I prefer a glass of Merlot with a certain someone.
Equilibrium,
If I had that Russian chocolate on a regular basis I'd forget what my name is along with any blues. You know the special ingredient it has...
FirstLine,
I guess romantism is at its peak during winter - at least for me it is.
Why was i under the impression that romantics bloom in spring?!?
That's for the ordinary ones... hehe
