1. Winter/The Seasons
I guess this is the first thing that I'll start with since it is what inspired me to make a list. You see, I hate winter. And I don't take the word hate lightly. I'll tough out most things, but my body has never adapted well to the cold. It can make you forget how wonderful winter is. It's winter that makes spring all the more so dramatic. To switch from barren lands. Frozen deserts. To that sweet smell of the first buds of May. The burst of colours emerging from a once white winterland. It's birth. Regrowth. Life.
2. Life in Canada
There's no doubt about it. We live like 16th century monarchs. (Or whatever century you'd like to pick.) You never realize how lucky you are until you've stepped outside of your own little world. As Canadians, we enjoy luxuries that even Americans aren't privy to. National security. I can't ever remember a time when we've had to deal with large scale "terrorist" attacks on our homeland. Free healthcare. Free education. At least until university. And even then we pay almost half of what Americans pay.
3. My Friends
I sometimes find myself wishing my friends were more like myself - shared the same interests, held the same values and beliefs, reached for similar goals. But how boring would that be? Each of my friends have their own unique thing that endears me to them. If we were all like me, well... It's good to be unique sometimes. Variety is what makes things interersting - conformity creates ticky tacky boxes.
4. Freedom?
??? I've run out of ideas already. I guess this part comes from living in Canada... But I guess it deserves it's own spot too.
I tried... I really did. I think I'm gonna go for something simpler next time. Maybe a dialogue. Maybe I will upload a bit of my big project next time. (I am in the process of writing a novel.) I've been completely drained of all my inspiration and creativity. I think I'm gonna go try some redecorating... Maybe take a break from writing again. Well, until the next time.
