Why?

The South experiences a distinct climate characterized by high humidity and warm temperatures. However, during winter months, the air can turn harsh, especially when temperatures drop suddenly. This shock can cause discomfort, leading to a sensation where the air seems to 'hurt' your face. Such weather, often accompanied by windy conditions, may invoke strong memories or feelings, much like the atmospheric tension in films like 'The Exorcist.' This layered experience of confronting physical discomfort while processing personal loss, like that of a grandparent, highlights the poignant intersection of environmental and emotional challenges we often face. Let’s not forget that the South, with its rich culture and history, can evoke various feelings, from nostalgia to vulnerability.
