1. Orange slices at half time, the best. 2. Yeah I love sunsets, the right one with the right person will stay with you forever 3. I’ll take two Pina Coladas and one for the road thank you... great story. Forgiveness is an excellent topic, and so valuable too.
I never knew that about oranges! I tend to associate them with summer but weirdly enough I think I do eat them more in the winter because I’m paranoid about getting sick and want to stock up on my vitamin C lol. The photo you chose is especially striking, I love the contrast! And I love how beautifully you described sunsets :) your connection of the contradictions in winter to the contradictions of the human condition, particularly with relationships we can’t mend anymore, especially struck a chord with me. I love the winter for its cold weather and snuggly vibes but I also do find myself getting more pensive and melancholic during this season, and I tend to isolate myself more. Sometimes it’s difficult but I also love it? I went through an especially difficult winter last year and I can feel some of its echoes as we head into the season this year but much like the oranges on the snowy tree, I feel that something good will come from it.
Yes! And it makes so much sense that they'd be a winter fruit because we need that vitamin C in the winter! I didn't even think of that until you said it. But thank you Mary! This started out as something I was just writing for fun to get over some writer's block, so I was just having fun with the sunset descriptions and wasn't sure if it was too much. I'm so glad you liked it <3
Me too! I enjoy the winter in the beginning, but as it goes on I tend to get a bit pensive and melancholic as well. Although I love the coziness, which makes it extra fun to sit under a blanket with tea or hot chocolate and a movie, it's also really easy to isolate and get lost in our thoughts and thinking about the past.
I absolutely love how you put that though "much like the oranges on the snowy tree, I feel something good will come from it". Beautifully put. I completely agree <3
