this was wonderful. your writing always makes me EMOTIONAL. it makes me think and feel. i'm someone who honestly hates winter and longs for eternal summer; i connect with your ideas of sadness in regards to winter but i also agree that it's, like, a peaceful thing. i agree with your hopper stuff- i feel like he's not exactly grappling with loneliness in his work, more sitting with it, living with it. i think it's so true of you to point out how feelings are not supposed to have value, they're simply feelings. from my perspective it seems like you're living primarily in the moment. you're looking at sadness/winter right there in front of you, which is so interesting and also thoughtful and strong? i'm trying to become someone who doesn't disvalue the bad feelings in life, so this really hit me. thanks for writing it, sha :-)
reading this with envy as i have yet to see proper snowfall this season - but what a cathartic read! such a beautiful return and your words feel as timely as ever. thank you for your honesty and life in your words, for making a space where emotion is not ‘good’ or ‘bad’ but simply here
just read this in my sociology class and it made me want to cry and i think even though winter here in the uk isn’t so all encompassing as it seems to be where u are, i’m beginning to wish it was (without the bill, please). so many thoughts about this letter, thank u for writing it <3
thankyou so much for this!!!! i feel so connected to your words and what they mean to me <3
