Whenever someone asks me what my favorite season is, I always say that it's winter. It has the most beautiful atmosphere, according to me. You have a nice fluffy blanket ready with you and you're set to experience a divine holiday feeling during winters. I love this season because it makes me feel like the nights are longer and I have more time to sleep, secure and pamper myself with soft and thick blankets, listen to my favorite music and vibe with the atmosphere. I feel like we can go out and enjoy whenever we
like during winters, it doesn’t gift me with burning eyes and a waterfall of sweat after a long day outside like in summer, nor does it bestow the disgusting feeling of wet and muddy shoes upon me like in monsoon and we don’t have fear that it might rain on our way back home. I actually like the rainy season a lot but the drawback is that I don’t want to leave home on rainy days. The winter season fills that spot too for me, it lets me enjoy the beautiful dark blue skies and the cool breezy climate makes me wear fluffy and comfortable clothes - outside and at home.
I recently came across the word “anemoia” and this word explains what thinking about this season actually does to me. Thinking of winter takes me to a kind of memory I never had. It's a magical connection which elevates me without even existing materialistically. I connect different things to this season - like emotions of comfort, healing, joy and security; aesthetic music without words etc. and yes, I've actually got a playlist to put on to enjoy times like this, if I get the chance to snuggle into a fat blanket and enjoy the weather.
There is also this thrilling feeling we get when we're supposed to pack and get just 2-3 hours of sleep before waking up and getting ready in the cool breezy atmosphere, to leave for a trip very early in the morning and then sleep on the journey to the other town, cuddling with my favorite soft blanket. Winter brings back that thrilling feeling for me, even if it's just for a bit of time. So this is not just a season, it's an emotion for me and I kinda do consider myself a true admirer of winter due to all these aspects.
