I hate winter and I genuinely don't understand people who say winter is their favorite season. Winter makes me want to go into hibernation. I'm the absolute worst version of myself in the winter and everything just feels so much more depressing during that time of year.
I'm just gonna come out and say it: snow is ugly Okay fine, when it first falls, it's untouched, and it has that sparkle to it...then it's pretty. (I will also accept snow on Christmas Eve/Christmas day, but any other day...it's a no from me.) But after a few days, it starts to turn brown or black from car exhaust and people walking all over it. It loses its luster fairly quickly. But you want to know what doesn't? Fresh, green grass or pretty flowers.
On top of that, it is so freaking annoying when you have to brush off your car after it snows. It doesn't matter how bundled up you get, snow somehow ends up falling down the sleeves of your jacket or down the back of your shirt or blown in your face. Plus, if your windshield freezes, it takes forever for it to defrost. I just know that in the winter I get like fifteen fewer minutes of sleep because I have to accommodate for all that mumbo jumbo. Which, I don't know about y'all, but I like my sleep. I need my sleep.
Snow just makes everything so much more difficult. Driving becomes such a hassle and potential hazard. Sure, nowadays cars have ABS, traction control, and four-wheel drive but that only does so much. That brief moment when I start to skid and my traction control hasn't kicked in yet is the most terrifying few seconds of my life. Even when I drive slow, I've skidded a few times and it's just so anxiety-inducing. Then you have those people that think they're invincible and can drive whatever way that want to. Those people are the scariest. Like just because you have four-wheel drive doesn't mean snow suddenly seizes to exist for you.
Everything is so depressing during the winter, too. I mean, it gets dark out so early and it always feels so much later than it actually is. I find myself getting so lazy during the winter because the lack of sunlight is a real demotivator. All I ever feel like doing is laying in bed or on the couch, which, is okay every once in a while. But every day? God, I feel like I'm starting to go crazy. The days feel so short and I feel like I'm always in a rush to get things done. Plus, when it's dark, I just get so tired. Being lazy is not a good look for me...or anyone, for that matter.
Plus...it's so COLD. Don't get me wrong, I like colder weather. But I like the fall kind of cold weather, not the kind of cold weather where if I don't have four layers on, two pairs of gloves, and scarves up to my eyes, I risk the chance of frostbite or hypothermia. I like the kind of weather where I can go outside in a hoodie or a light jacket and be comfortable. These big and clunky winter jackets aren't cute, they make driving difficult, and they make me feel like I'm some gigantic freak of nature. I swear, I bump into things and knock things over more when I have a winter jacket on.
Winter is just not a good look and it's the worst time of year. If you like winter.....I honestly don't know what to say to that because I just cannot grasp the fact that some people like winter.
