Winter is starting to set in. Winter is beautiful in its own uniqueness; I enjoy it greatly. Yet with its beauty comes a certain...responsibility to it. I remember last year when I did not keep up with that responsibility. I somewhat lost what it meant to be a human. Humans exist to advance in whatever they do; whether it be philosophical, career, or anything related goals, to be human is to meet those goals. We're a race in which we move ahead and make our lives and the lives of others better. Last winter I might have well have gotten hit by a truck and gone in a coma for three months. I did nothing. I was in a horrible slump and did not advance in the most important thing in my life. I, as of now, propose a promise to myself that I will move ahead in my field of major study. I want to learn everything there is to know about it. I've wanted to my entire life. Now is the time to look into it and see what it's all about, like a small child sticking his head in an opaque fishbowl to see what the fish are doing. The child can't keep his head in there forever...he needs other things, too, to keep him happy and, well, human. Last winter was also the time to do it. I didn't even feel the water to see if it were warm enough to put my head in. Now I have felt the water. It is the nearest thing to perfection. I want to see the fish, living a wonderful, ignorant life. I want to enjoy the snow this year. It can be viewed two ways...from the sight point of view or from the touch point of view. To the touch, it's cold, rigid, and repels any type of human at all. To the eye, however, it is beautiful. A snowflake is so tiny, so small...it can't make any difference alone. When it works together with other snowflakes, it can create a landscape that can make the season brighter than it seems in the first place! Be alert, my dear self, be well, and be human.
