Dreams of Winter

New Year has turned into an ordinary one by now, and the pages of my diary have become something else, too. Although they appear empty, there is writing on the pages. Something has changed, though.

Maybe we have passed the half way of the winter by now, I wonder. But it does not matter actually. Nothing has actually mattered recently. A glimpse of the dreams I thought I had lost forever catches my mind, and for a while I dream about all the little things that make life worth living. Suddenly I realize my existence; toward death, without a care..
