Change of Seasons

Prompt: Change of Seasons
"To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with spring."
George Santayana

When seasons change, say from summer to fall or fall to winter, what becomes challenging for you during these changes? And how do you think you react when life changes its seasons for you?

I'm always sad when Spring leaves or Autumn changes into Winter, but as Francis Bacon said: "In order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present." The stuff you hate has to exist in order for you to appreciate the things you like. I love Spring mostly because Winter sucks so much (especially when I lived in NY which is where majority of my hatred of Winter comes from). When I lived in NY, winter felt like it lasted 6 months. When Spring came, watching color come back to the land was amazing. Everything is white, gray, brown in Winter and watching green come back always just made me happy.


I love Autumn for the same reason as Spring, just opposite. Watching color leave, you'd think would be depressing, but watching the green explode in other colors is amazing. The mood of the season is amazing too. It brings a comfort that maybe only introverts can enjoy.
