it was nice.

Even though we ran around the park four hours, running in a constant circle for school. And we got cold and wet- and wore a cloak of goose pimples- and our teeth chattered. We ran... our scarlet noses ran... but it was the best fun I've had.

After our eternal laps we arrived at a bar and drunk spiced apple juice with ginger and cinnamon and ate mini chocolate bars labelled "milk".
For a while we happily nattered about scones and rainbows.
And then danced to Christmas songs.
With genuine smiles.
It Was Nice.

when daytime melts into nightime...

Twilight can be seen in two ways- I love both deeply.
Firstly, it can be seen as a teenage romance consisting of a dreamy vampire boy...
Or secondly, a beautiful time of the day. The time when daytime melts into night, and the sun wobbles on the edge of the earth. I was walking home from school and twilight filled the air and I stopped to love how the rays of the sun filled the sky during its last moments, and then disappeared completely. It somehow felt the day was scraping past the night as they switched places in the sky.
On my walk home.

the warmth behind a frosty window...

Today it is December. The First of December. Possibly, one of my favorite days of the year. The sheer joy of snapping open the first window of the advent calender! It was the day when from the moment I set foot inside from the wonderful winter outside-everything somehow seemed to look golden brown! It was the day when I just sunk into a pile of fluffy cushions by a blazing fire, and sipped bitter hot chocolate- with over-sized knitted jumpers and woolly socks! I can honestly say- I don't think I have felt happier in my life. Every part of me felt like it was oozing warmth as beautiful flames dances before me and crackled in my face.
