Let me start with a confession: My name is Nataly, and I really, really hate winter. (Now you say, “Hi, Nataly!”)
I hate the way the frigid cold makes your bones hurt. I hate the freezing wind that leaves your face feeling like it was kissed by sandpaper. I hate the snow that makes walking and driving a battle. I hate the time it takes to get dressed in all the endless layers just to step outside! Did I mention the snow? And did I mention I’m from Boston?
I start dreading winter in October, as if preparing for hating winter earlier will help me deal with it better when it eventually arrives. (Which is a complete waste of time and a complete waste of the short-lived, beautiful autumn New England weather that I do love.)
