the (mostly) inside thoughts of an overthinker

tldr: january

This January has been a surprisingly eventful start to the year - almost every weekend included some kind of activity, including a few magical snow days that brought me back to feeling like a little kid in a snow globe again. Childlike wonder, as the internet likes to put it.

Normally, going outside in cold and wet weather is something I try to avoid at all costs, but this year, the treks through poor weather have been rewarded by joy and laughter and community and indulgence and warmth and all the good things in life. I loved bundling up and getting too warm to stay inside, hustling through the streets and feeling suddenly aware that myself and all the strangers around me are soundly alive, confirmed by cloudy puffs of exhalation. A month filled with potential. Good times, 9.2/10
