even though itâs still February, I can already feel spring trying to break through the layers of cold
the sun is starting rise a little earlier, and mornings donât feel as harsh. I can hear birds other than crows nowâsmall signs that something is changing
in the afternoon, sunlight floods the classroom, and outside, kids are playing again. they shriek in excitement while playing tag or hide&seek
at night, the clear skies give a great view of the stars above us, reminding me how everything may seem fragile and ever changing, but paradoxically, impermanence ensures the unique charm of the moment
so I waitâpatientlyâfor the warmth, for the bloom, for the moment when winter finally loosens its grip, and the world can take a deep breath once again

despite my love and the amazing beauty that comes with spring, it often means, for me, the beginning of demon time⌠must be something about how happy and freed everyone becomes again. Therefore, I often await it with happiness for the good and an air of caution for the not so much, just readying to hold it tf down and not hurt anybody nor myself lol đ§đżââď¸ i wonder if others are the same

For some reason, the past few years Iâve had this obsession with completely ignoring the existence of spring. Oh, itâs the first of May? Then summer is officially here! But no, why should I ignore one of the most important seasons of all? If summer is the goal, then spring is the journey, and we all know that itâs the path that counts not the destination. And once Iâd made this realisation it took such a heavy weight off of my shoulders; I realised that I actually had some time to shed my moody winter persona, and to slowly crank up the outgoing summer persona who wants to speak to absolutely everyone and do absolutely everything. So for me, spring is officially the best season of the year, and itâs made me feel like having an amazing summer in 2024 if within my own power, and not something that I have to blindly hope for.

It was here before us, and it will be here long after we're gone. We're just passing through.
Anyway, this winter has been very mild and weird, so for once, I think I can actually embrace an early spring without being disappointed.
I went on a walk yesterday, and maybe it was the time-change exhaustion, or just the sunny euphoria, but I couldn't help but notice all of the birds out and about singing their songs - so much so that I was repeatedly singing "the birds are back in town" in my head, and really enjoyed imagining that they were all just as stoked to see me. It was a nice little frequency to find myself within.

is indifference the trend now? it seems like the moment someone shows genuine interest in something, theyâre met with the same dismissal as a child asking one too many questionsâI'll explain later. but later never comes
yesterday in literature class, something clicked. I finally grasped the scientific reasoning behind a certain work, and it fueled me, inspired me to discuss interpretations with my peers. but when I spoke up, I was met with silenceâa subtle, unspoken cue to keep my thoughts to myself
in that moment, I felt embarrassed, even stupid, for wanting to dig deeper. but later, I realized they might have just wanted some peace after a long lesson. maybe it wasnât about me at allâŚ
however, this wasnât an isolated moment. time and time again, when I try to have meaningful conversations about things I truly care about, the response is often the same: why are you even thinking about this? why does it matter?
somehow, not caring has become the golden standard. indifference is effortless, and effort is something to be mocked. itâs "cool" to disengage, to float through school without interest, to never give things a second thought. and those who do care? theyâre met with resistance, as if their curiosity itself is an inconvenience
the whole chill guy persona and the propaganda of nonchalance do more harm than we realise. we glorify the effortlessly cool, detached observerâthe person who never tries too hard, never gets too invested, never asks too many questions. passion is seen as cringe, enthusiasm as uncool, and intellectual curiosity as trying too hard. and yet, itâs exactly this mindset that holds us back
when we stop seeking, we stop growing. when we refuse to ask questions, we accept what weâre given without ever challenging it. nonchalance might feel safeâit protects us from judgment, from looking foolish, from admitting we careâbut it also makes us stagnant. it robs us of the thrill of discovery, the depth of connection, the joy of truly understanding something
so maybe itâs time to let go of the chill guy persona and the nonchalant act. itâs time to embrace caringâdeeply, unapologetically, wholeheartedly. because the world doesnât move forward on indifference. it moves forward on those who dare to be curious and whimsyâŚ
