Day 88: “This Time of Year”
This time of year
feels like a warm hug
a cup of hot cocoa, when the marshmallow sticks to your lip
sitting on the vent with a blanket, filling it up with warm air
finding the perfect gift
when your face just starts getting numb after walking in the cold, making it harder to form words
staying up all night praying for a snow day
string lights cozifying your place
your cat trying to eat the artificial tree
candles, lots and lots of candles
bundling up just to still have your toes feel cold
nostalgia, so much nostalgia it hurts
music that makes you feel young, loved, comfortable
warmth emanating from everywhere
It just feels like magic
