“He was simply someone who floated through our lives and didn’t seem to care how flatly he perceived everyone or that he’d shared our secret failures with the world, showcasing the youthful indifference, the gleaming nihilism, glamorizing the horror of it all.” ~ Bret Easton Ellis

We hereby banish winter for (almost) the rest of the year!
That doesn’t mean the darkness has been completely eradicated.
Our world is in sorry shape.
There is much work to be done.
The damage of a winter, no matter how benign, takes some time to correct.
But spring does it every time.
This year, I think we just need to help it out a bit. And it will feel good to help.
Spring gives us a renewed sense of drive and purpose. I’ve been feeling that little spark in the past couple of weeks. While everything seemed to go to shit, my heart sailed through on the crest of some radical belief system I didn’t even realize I had. Maybe you’ve realized the shift that’s been happening since last fall. It feels so far away now, and only when looking back do I see the distance that’s been traversed. Perhaps that’s why I don’t like to look back that often. It’s exhausting to think of what we’ve done and been through.
Instead, we look ahead.
To the return of warmth.
To the return of glamour.
To the return of spring.
