V.O

I've always said that I've hated snow.

I'm not sure if I can say that this year though. It doesn't snow very much in Sweden, not until late January/early February usually. This winter, the snow started on new years day. Which was actually sort of beautiful. Everything was covered in white, almost like a clean slate. New year, new opportunities? Everything was so white and beautiful.

Usually I'm the first person to complain about the snow. How cold it is, how it's going to turn into sludge, or that when it melts away it'll turn into ice and everything will be slippery. But last week I had woken up at around 6 am, and just watched the snowfall. The snow was probably over a meter tall and it just kept growing every time I looked out the window. I just wanted to go out and jump into the untouched snow. I unfortunately could not since it was far too early in the morning, and I don't have any snow clothes.

The snow has been melting away these past few days. There has been quite a bit of rain recently. The snow is slowly melting away, and paths are clearing up. Rain after snow sucks. It always leaves behind these huge patches of ice everywhere, and due to my immaculate balancing skills, I am always on the brink of cracking my skull open. Although, the warmer weather is quite nice.

Even now, sitting here watching the rain drip down and melt away the snow, I can't say I hated the snow. Not this year.
