I don't want to live a life where i shy away from the flowers

[kiko]

The simpliest joy on the planet, when i see them im only left with haunted empty memories.

Theyll be popping up soon, bursts of colour, everywhere I go. I am going to miss the bare hedgegrows and empty tree branches that show no reminder of my past or the flowers i use follow.

Thank you for this. You're not alone. Sometimes I'd much rather this colorless winter than those beautiful blossoms reminding me of what I used to know.

A flower that comes to my mind. Is sakura, or cherry blossom. This flower comes from Japan. I love the look of the leaves when the wind blows. When that happens the scenery is beautiful. It is one of the reasons why I want to go to Japan.

i know what you mean. it makes me especially sad, knowing how ephemeral flowers are, much like happiness is transient.

One of the absolute greatest joys I experienced was the first time I stayed on the East Coast, and experienced my first winter the spring that followed was incredible. It was so eerie and haunting that all the birds and animals were gone, the world was cold and still. Then seemingly overnight I saw a ladybug on a fresh leaf. In every directIn every direction The world was waking up from a deep slumber. The birds returned, and I could hear their song again. Having grown up in Southern California I took the endless spring or summer cycle for granted. The spring after winter is one of the most incredible things ever. Another thing that was absolutely gorgeous I was walking out one day early in the fall and overnight the trees became all the shades of fire from yellow orange to red.
