winter

Lately i'm into people from Epik High. Not for like self improvement kind of things but only for entertainment. So i follow the members SNS and just this morning, i read words from Tablo SNS that said,

"In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer" - Albert Calmus

Although I know the meaning intuitively, I’m still amazed by the words. Apparently, they were from an essay titled Retour à Tipasa by Albert Camus. It has a deep meaning about the situation back then, but it’s interpreted differently by me. To me, it means that though it was cold, hard, and there was no hope, there will always be a torch somewhere, in the deepest part of me, hiding, waiting to be found and acknowledged. Just like what Loki said,

"I assure you, brother, the sun will shine on us again"

Winter sounds like a unicorn to me because I’ve never seen snow in my entire life. Although it sounds like a holiday because Christmas is coming and TV will broadcast Home Alone to watch, I can feel that winter is not the same for everyone. I don’t need to see snow to know what winter actually feels like to people. To some people who are unlucky enough, winter is a disaster. It’s cold, the farms aren’t doing well, the rivers are frozen, and the trees die. They hold on to the fact that winter will pass, no matter how hard it is to live through.

I hope everyone finds a purpose to live once more. No matter how bad the situation is, no matter the weather, no matter how it feels like life gives us a burden, let’s live. Though it’s hard, if we try again, one more time, let’s believe again that life is fun, isn’t it? I hope every beautiful soul on Earth finds reasons to live again. Love you all.
