I stood outside the door, the heat quickly escaping me. Surrounded by shadow from a pale blue light, the moisture of my breath turned to steaming clouds as I enjoyed the stillness of the night.

Fields flew past, riddled with patches of dead grasses, painted with a thin layer of frost. Silhouettes of hibernating trees danced among the frozen air, suspended above the ground as if to erase the minor imperfections from its surface.

The bleak midwinter echoes in my ear, trailed by a choir of children’s voices.

I’m inaccessible without you here,

A hot shower makes me thankful.

it covers me. and covers me.

amazing love.

I don’t know. It’s likely a result of a drained brain from school stresses, but I feel like all my emotions are trapped inside of me. I see so many beautiful things, and enjoy the occasional evening of content, yet I don’t have words to describe them. I like describing my life. It helps me remember. Without words, memories fade.

Help me remember this?
