I love the cold ! I love how when I go outside and it’s so windy and chilly, but I’m warm because I’m wearing thermals and a windbreaker and I love how my cheeks feel like they’re frozen over, because probably my face is trying so hard to send blood up there to warm it up. I love how I can’t walk very fast anyway because of the shoes I wear these days, but also because all the layers I’m wearing don’t allow me full range of motion anyway so I just waddle and take my time crossing distances. It has to get done, I have to get groceries, I have to walk to the train, I gotta go see my friends, and I get to be all bundled up and leave like a few minutes earlier to make the journey.

I want to go camping some day in the winter and I wonder if I’ll feel the same way somewhere out on a mountain.
