Season preference ☃️

#storytime #lemon8contest #fyp

this sounds weird to you probably however, i kinda wish it was winter right now, and don’t get me wrong! i LOVE the summer (it’s my favorite season), i just feel like due to the lockdown, the time was so blurred for a lot of people including me and it was like we got an early summer for those still in school and it went by far too fast so we jumped into winter…

i don’t know if this makes sense to anyone yet it’s just how i felt 🥲

(& yes these are my photos, im rlly proud of them honestly, they make me feel cozy and i feel such warmth when i see snow outside my window)

Seasonal preferences can evoke strong emotions and sentiments, particularly during transitional periods. Many people have been reminiscing about the coziness associated with winter while embracing the warmth of summer. The lockdown brought unusual rhythms and blurred seasons, leading to mixed feelings about time progression. In the northern hemisphere, winter traits such as snow-covered landscapes, warm indoors, and holiday festivities contrast sharply with the vitality and heat of summer. This longing for winter during summer months may resonate with many as they reflect on personal experiences, particularly in light of social changes caused by the pandemic. Moreover, the emotional weight of winter symbolizes comfort, togetherness, and warmth from family gatherings by the fireplace. It acts as a reminder of slower-paced, reflective times. Recognizing these feelings can empower individuals to create new traditions or cherish their current ones, perhaps by integrating winter themes into summer celebrations. Whether through cozy home décor or seasonal recipes that invite the essence of winter, exploring these preferences can bring a unique warmth to both seasons.
