「歴史を創り出すColors」

I can't believe how long it's been since I've posted.  I know it's only been 15 days since my last entry, and that I've had longer periods of not posting, but for some reason, it just feels like it's been a long time.

I feel despair at the season's changing.  My heart feels heavy with the knowledge that winter is nearing.  Hell, I felt heavy at the thought of autumn approaching.

I am no longer normal.  I am not the same person I was 3 years ago.  I no longer associate autumn with the turning of leaves, nor winter with snow.  When I think of autumn, the word "Darkness" comes to my mind; winter-- "Madness".

My state of mind has a tendency to follow the weather.  I get very depressed in autumn.  As the leaves die, I, in turn, feel I am dying.  I get this cavern in my chest and my mind turns dark.  But more than that, it reminds of this time two years ago.  I was very sick-- at least emotionally.  And mentally.  And probably physically, too.  I believe I was at the peak of despair then.  It felt like death.

Since then, I haven't been able to disassociate autumn with heavy depression.  Last year I relapsed in autumn.  It seems this year will be the same.

And winter.  After months of being dark, you go mad.  You go crazy.  I can barely remember my last two winters, seeing as I was severely malnourished and mad.  I remember this, though:  the cold... sitting at a desk, bundled in multiple coats, but still freezing.  My blue fingers.  I remember looking down at my thinning thighs.  I remember thinking:  I can't take this anymore.

I wonder if this year will be the same.  I wonder if this year will be another year of darkness, of then madness.  I feel harshly, somewhere in the pit of my stomach, that it will.  It scares me.  I wonder if I will be able to handle another two seasons of this.

But then I remember Spring.  When the grass grows green and the flowers bud, as life is breathed onto the land once more, I shed the skin of disorder.
