accepting seasons as they are is giving in to the cycle of life. spring is a birth, summer a peak, fall a celebration of abundance, and winter is a death. the seasons can be found every day, morning as spring to winter as a small death every night (sleep). also menstrual cycles 4 distinct phases can be represented with the seasons. seasons are so extremely embedded in our souls and bodies as humans, even if we live where they are not pronounced. accepting seasons also helps us come to terms with death and accepting the ends of cycles and even seeing them as just as beautiful as the beginnings. and cycles are beautiful because we know after every winter, there can come a spring!

the passing of the seasons has got to be my favorite thing of all time since the first time i remember having consciousness. here’s my favorite tree, having finally shed for the winter. i live in central FL where we get some autumn colors in the wintertime, & at the start of January this one finally shed its leaves :D ecstatic at this bc I’ve lived most of my life in south FL, where leaves stay intact & green year round, & the seasons kind of blend into one. no greater feeling to me than knowing that the earth changes with me

Happiness as a cosmic certainty, necessarily following a low period. Winter chased by springtime.

For some reason, the past few years I’ve had this obsession with completely ignoring the existence of spring. Oh, it’s the first of May? Then summer is officially here! But no, why should I ignore one of the most important seasons of all? If summer is the goal, then spring is the journey, and we all know that it’s the path that counts not the destination. And once I’d made this realisation it took such a heavy weight off of my shoulders; I realised that I actually had some time to shed my moody winter persona, and to slowly crank up the outgoing summer persona who wants to speak to absolutely everyone and do absolutely everything. So for me, spring is officially the best season of the year, and it’s made me feel like having an amazing summer in 2024 if within my own power, and not something that I have to blindly hope for.

i read 45 books in 2024 (brag) and i want to continue to prioritize reading in the new year, above tv or scrolling or gaming
my biggest reading hack is to be reading 2-3 books at a time so whenever you wanna read you have something that can match your specific mood

as the old guy Kurt Vonnegut says:
"I go down the steps and my wife calls, “Where are you going?” “Well,” I say, “I’m going to buy an envelope.” And she says, “You’re not a poor man. Why don’t you buy a thousand envelopes? They’ll deliver them, and you can put them in the closet.” And I say, “Hush.”
So I go to this newsstand across the street where they sell magazines and lottery tickets and stationery. I have to get in line because there are people buying candy and all that sort of thing, and I talk to them. The woman behind the counter has a jewel between her eyes, and when it’s my turn, I ask her if there have been any big winners lately.
I get my envelope and seal it up and go to the postal convenience center down the block at the corner of Forty-seventh Street and Second Avenue, where I’m secretly in love with the woman behind the counter. I keep absolutely poker-faced; I never let her know how I feel about her. One time I had my pocket picked in there and got to meet a cop and tell him about it.
Anyway, I address the envelope to Carol in Woodstock. I stamp the envelope and mail it in a mailbox in front of the post office, and I go home.
And I’ve had a hell of a good time. I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don’t let anybody tell you any different.”
