Everybody's got a favorite season. Everybody's got a season they dislike. But I ask, is there any season that affects your mood? Something in the background that makes you feel a certain way when you look at the environment around you, and you know without a doubt that it's this one season for sure?

Mine is Fall. I can appreciate what comes with Fall, but I don't enjoy it. There's something deeply off putting to me when I look outside, and I see the sky, grey as if it were dying, and the colour draining away leaving dead husks. I never knew what it was, but Fall was always tricky for me. My head's a mess, scrambled and lost, and depression creeps from the black corner of it's hole and takes another step, another foothold.

I can always tell when it's fall because I have to fight every morning to get up and do something with my day, and the world around me turns into something unsettling,

At the very least, Fall is short lived. No more than a month at the most before the ice and snow rolls in.

How about you folks? Any seasons with special influences on you?

My mother keeps asking me if I have SAD.

Winter is my favourite, summer is the worst. I also appreciate it when it rains.

I've always been a fan of rain when you were in shelter. Especially the sound of rain on the roof of your vehicle. But up here I think my favorite is when the snow rolls in big time.

You strap on all your snow gear, looking like the damn Michelin tire man, and you step out another world. It's so cold that exposed skin will freeze in under a minute of exposure, and you can feel it in the air, how compact and dry it is. And you look out, and there before you stretched for miles and miles, is snow. Blowing across the fields forever, they form dunes. And through all the blowing snow, you can just barely make out the dim glowing light of our little old star.

Winter. I prefer cooler weather.
