Winter Poem
The Warm Winter
Winter slowly creeps into my soul and settles into my skin,
just like a bear cuddled up in his den, hidden during the cold winter season.
What is winter?
It is the covering of the summer’s canvas with white paint
It is the joy of the bright sunrise on the horizon, magnifying the light on the white.
It is the warmth of a close friend when you are feeling cold.
Blog Log 4 – Love is not the Most Important Aspect in Life
I remember doing a project in the eleventh grade on love. I remember our question being, is love the most important factor in life? In our project my group and I stated that yes love is the most important factor in life whether it be love towards your family, an object or your significant other. This article states otherwise. It’s interesting to read another point of view on love when I think strongly that love is one of the most important factors in life. The article does make sense and I could see as to why the author would say that “love is not enough”. Obviously, love cannot be the only thing that matters in life but it is important. Love is not going to cure all things bad in life, but it is going to help. Love is supposed to make people realize what they’re fighting for and if it’s worth to fight for. Love has the power to change people for the better. If a person loves someone, they have the power to do so many things for each other and it keeps the people motivated. I’m not saying love is the answer to everything, but it does bring out another side to people. Other factors are needed in life than love, but in my opinion, love is one of the most important factors.
Blog log #3 – Trying to hard cancels out happiness
https://markmanson.net/stop-trying-to-be-happy
After I read this article, I had a bit of an epiphany. I realized that so many people in todays world try so hard to be happy, but can’t because just like the author said happiness “is not something you obtain, but rather something you inhabit.” I would have to completely agree with what the author says in his article. Happiness is so much more than pleasure from things. To be happy one should feel it at all times, people should feel it naturally rather than to have to buy it. When I say buy happiness, I mean buy objects, vacations and friends to make yourself feel happy. Once you can’t buy it anymore the happiness fades. It can be difficult to actually feel happiness, but it’s a matter of trying new things and living a life that isn’t pressuring. I could vouch for this article, whenever I am upset and force myself to be happy, it’s not real happiness. When I don’t think about happiness just go about a good day, I simply feel it. Many people should read this article, I feel as if people would also have a realization that happiness is not something you force upon yourself, but instead come naturally.
