Ah winter, It's a love hate relationship for me with winter! I have always hated the cold. When going out to film, every single time I over wrap up. End up sweltering, I am always expecting it to be far colder than it always ends up being. 80% of all my videos I have had to restart due to stopping to take off layers. But I would rather go through this tiresome procedure every time than do one walk with not enough layers, the idea of that is a big nope for me! Paradoxically though, when you are out there and it's horrible cold and wet, fingers are numb, the ears hurt and there is nothing enjoyable about it at all and you're questioning your recent life decisions, oddly it's the only time where I really get to appreciate and enjoy knowing I have the radiators on full blast and a warm cozy home to go back to, I get to put the fire on, have a mug of hot chocolate and put the feet up. It's that feeling of impending joy I really do love, and it gets better the worse the current conditions are. I always make sure if I am to go out into the sufferable cold, I have always a reward to look forward too! I think that's the trick to enjoying the more often than not bleak British winter! Ah as I type this, it is actually snowing outside! I am both happy and dismayed for it. Happy as it is beautiful, dismayed as it means it is bloody cold out now! Great film and talk, as always My Little Thought Tree! You always get my brain going!
Winter is reinvigorating. You remember the world as winter nibbles at you reminding you of life small pleasures. And when spring comes it brings a moment of rebirth as you go out to see new life.
The cold makes me feel alive. Although it brings discomfort, that sensation is tied in with a sort of thrill of adventure and a reminder of my humanity
I live in Canada and I love snow, it makes me happy. Climate change has almost eliminated the snow in my city, and it breaks my heart! So much of my childhood was impacted by the cold, snowy weather Ex: we used to make Halloween costumes to fit over our parkas! Had such epic blizzards that the whole city would shut down (not a snow day, a snow week) because everything was buried in mounds of snow. So for me, without snow it just isn’t winter. Anyone who doesn’t want it, I’ll be thrilled to take your snow!
"ahh, life is going on outside my head" really resonated with me. I'm often living inside my head and this sentence may explain why I like the first cold night after summer. But it isn't only the feeling of the cold that gets me outside my head, it's predominately the smell of each season. For me in the Netherlands each season has it's own type of smell, and I love going outside and smelling for the first time in the year "Ah, winter has come". Thanks for sharing this video, It brings me joy to hear that someone has the same type of cherish over something so simple, that is so often overlooked. And I'm fascinated that each season has many ways to communicate it's presence: for you it's the feeling of cold, for me it's the smell of cold (:
I love this video. I’ve always adored autumn and winter. Feels more personal, slower, sober, strange and different. The feeling of slight discomfort and cold air on your exposed skin is so real and fresh. I look forward to it every year. Being bundled up and having tea or coffee on the porch until I’m too cold to stay out any longer. The mist and sky colors in the morning and evening. Everything feels different and new. I appreciate your perspective, how you take in the little things and think about the seasons changing. It’s nice to hear someone else talk about those thoughts and feelings. ☕️🍂❄️🧣
Winter has always been my favorite season, though the reasons have changed. I appreciate the struggle against the cold, and the oppressive snow. There's something reassuring about being bundled up, with dry feet, or even sitting inside while you watch the snow fall outside. Winter is a reminder for me that the world is cruel and chaotic, yet we persevere against it. At the same time, winter represents a sort of purity, serenity, and peacefulness-in a recent snow covering the earth in a blanket of white, or the stillness as all creatures seldom stir into the crisp chill outside shelter. The meaning winter holds for me makes it, in my eyes, the most beautiful season.
What your friend said about living in a place with good weather is so true. Here in Brazil is prety common to not know the season that we are, and I hate that. Don't get me wrong, is really good to live on a place were is allways spring or summer, but I envy that feeling of change that you described, it feels so magic to see the world around you changing along side you. To remenber something great from your life and know that it was winter because you was wearing you favourite scarf... Changing of seasons can make you feel like you really belong to the place
I don’t know what magic brought your video onto my feed. But thank you, so very much. I’m in New Zealand for my first full Southern Hemisphere summer so far this millennium - I’m anxious about missing the first blistering cold snap of the Eastern US. I want to see frost sparkling the concrete sidewalks of Manhattan. I want that old bar door with maybe 40 coats of paint, gloss black, opening to the thick velvet curtain separating the cold from the warmth and cocktails and beautiful women I’d never talk to. But the bars are closed, and we’re safe here, and it’s BBQ season and beach Xmas and New Years Eve in the crowded campgrounds, and I miss winter.
I've found that in winter, I can go to bed at 9pm, wake up at 5am and by the time it gets dark, it doesn't feel early. I can pop out for a walk at 6 and see almost nobody around my little corner of Manchester. I've started doing 2 hours of music production before popping into the living room to work for 8 hours. The evening is for gaming, music, cooking, watching TV and writing. I love that about the winter. I think when I was younger (read: younger than 25) I used to get depressed in the winter and I think it was often either the obligation to get out of bed and commute to work or if I wasn't working or I was studying, the late mornings which made the darkness seem to arrive earlier.
I live in Australia, just outside of Sydney. I am forever being told that I must be crazy (how did they know I was on meds?) to love winter. I have recently moved to an area that has a chance of snow and has beautiful autumn leaves. I love the comfort of winter, the lack of pressure to be out and social etc. Curling up with a nice warm blanket and my cat on my lap while reading/gaming/watching tv is my at my most content.
I live in Florida, and when you were talking about the brief flash of summer that you get, I realized that I feel the same way about winter here. We don't get snow, but when we do get cold weather, I try to make the most of it. The rest of the year is just sticky, oppressive heat for the most part, so it's nice to be able to build a fire and sit comfortably by it.
I live in a desert town, so I always felt a seasonal tiredness around summer as well. It's the time when everything goes dry and dies. The sun is really dangerous, so a lot of people have strokes, random fires, etc. Everyone tries to stay inside for the whole summer. It reminds me of people having to stay in due to the cold while everything outside is dead. I always get really restless by how stagnant everything feels. Winter here is gardening season. We put in the bulbs and stuff so when spring comes, everything just grows and blooms without us having to go out gardening in the heat. We haven't gotten any rain or fog this year, though. I hope it get cold season-y soon. It's been chillly-ish this year, but not nearly as cold as it could be. Probably similar to normal places autumns. 60-ish°F? (Google says that's 16°C) Also, where I live, rain is like a magical thing. No matter how old you are, I'll see people go play out in the rain or just stand under their porches to stare at it. It's nice, bc my siblings and I will just run around the house announcing that it's raining even if it's like 4 AM. And when we all go outside to watch it, we'll see all our neighbor's on their porches, too.
There's a certain Slant of light, Winter Afternoons - That oppresses, like the Heft Of Cathedral Tunes - Heavenly Hurt, it gives us - We can find no scar, But internal difference - Where the Meanings, are - None may teach it - Any - 'Tis the seal Despair - An imperial affliction Sent us of the Air - When it comes, the Landscape listens - Shadows - hold their breath - When it goes, 'tis like the Distance On the look of Death - (Emily Dickinson)
I know I’m not as well spoken as you, but I just wanted to say like,, thanks for making these videos how you do and about what you do. Like as someone who wants to become a writer and is excited about the field it makes me happy to see someone talk about something as mundane as winter in such an interesting light. Like your videos never get enough hype but I appreciate them all so much
I love your point of how a writer gains a reason to observe how they feel. That's a large reason as to why I love writing myself as taking that point further it leads to the pursuit of new feelings to observe. It gives meaning to what would to anyone else be considered pointless or not worth doing, it's why I don't mind a negative experience as it is more than nothing.
living in a cold country really makes winter a double edged sword. on the one hand theres alot to enjoy from wintersports, staying cozied up inside and the nature in general. on the other hand the days are wildly short and it gets completely dark very early. i remember when i was small i would go to school in the dark, and then return home in the dark. it really messes with the internal clock. i know i could never live in the northernmost parts of norway where they have many days of darkness because of the polar night. a friend of mine is from the north working in a kindergarden and they will say farewell to the sun with the children the last day of sunlight.
This video perfectly explains how I’ve felt the past year, I think especially during quarantine. Just sitting by the window , not much urgency to have to go and do anything, so just letting your mind wonder and focusing more on the little things, like the sound of the rain hitting the window; the sound of the wind blowing the trees, or the feel of the cold air hitting your face and the warmth of a hot water bottle. It’s just such a peaceful feeling, but also kind of brings up a childlike excitement in me.
I love your description of wintertime in this video. It's the same way I feel. I love winter and am so grateful to live in a place where I experience all the seasons.
I don’t enjoy winter but there’s something different about a warm bed, warm place, cuddling your lover when it’s freezing cold outside. Just warmth is so much more precious when it’s cold outside.
I really needed this, the seasonal affective disorder has hit harder than usual this year. I hate how early it gets dark, most days here in Finland I can't even enjoy the light as it both comes and goes during the duration of my lectures. Summer and winter are the extremes, I like the mediator of autumn as the heat of summer is retained for a while, easing you into the lower temperatures, you know what time of the day it is by looking outside and the lovely colour-changing in realtime. I love the rain, I love to both look at and listen to it from inside and reveling and walking in it outside. Not always though, it still isn't great being caught off-guard by it without an umbrella when you have somewhere to be and got most of the walk left. But to just go on a walk in the rain, both with and without an umbrella is really lovely to me. The thing with digging your hands deep into your pockets for warmth is such a nice image and gives off a good winter feeling, it's hard to describe. The holiday spirit does also always help to counteract the SAD and I'm expecting it to hit any day now.
I love winter, as long as it's not permanent; I like getting bundled up when the air is cold, so my body is cozy but I'm still breathing cold air. I love stepping in fresh snow; not for the sake of "destroying" it, but to turn the almost abstract flatness of it with the particularity of footprints and tracks. Seeing the seasons change over months and thinking about how those slow changes are an eyeblink from the perspective of the planet also gives me a sense of scale. Unfortunately for that part of me, I'm living in coastal Southern California, where we have the suggestion of changes in season but never really commit to it.
The only thing I dislike about the winter is cold rain, it's not cold enough to be snow, but it's cold enough to leave you feeling miserable and soaked, it's essentially a damp cold. However, I do enjoy walking in the park at night when it's dry and below zero, it's invigorating. I also like getting out of bed in the morning to a hard frost, it really wakes me up when going to work. By the way, I can't speak for other countries, but the UK doesn't get much snow in the winter and sometimes it doesn't always amount to much, but if we're lucky enough to get a good covering of snow, it's wonderful. Overall, I'm liking winter.
I loved this analysis. Change of season always brings on more and more weird little challenges and differences the older I get, and the more I realize what the turn of weather does to me physically and psychologically. Also speaking of winter and Christmas, I'd like to bring up Nightmare Before Christmas and Jack and Sally's relationship, namely Sally as a character with depth and Jack as a character who is forced to face and ego...and whether or not he does? I've always wondered about it since I was a kid, I had a feeling that their growing relationship was a lot more nuanced and adult than I could have anticipated.
This really wholesome except that for me the onset of winter means a constantly itchy throat-_- I always get whatever bug’s goin around during that transition from summer to winter lol... great video tho!!
I know this video is some months old at this point but you talking about how vivid some moments can be, reminds me of one of my favourite movies. It's such a beautiful day is an animated film about Bill the stick figure who has been diagnosed with a degenerative brain disease and throughout the treatment eventually experiences how much detail there is in life. It's a very beautiful movie and I definitely recommend it to just about anyone. Also, it's quite a funny movie so don't be so put off by the dark premise.
(Granted I live in Arizona so it doesn't really get much colder than freezing temp but still) Winter is always a strange time for me, when it starts getting colder I get hit with a strong sense of nostalgia and it feels very surreal, maybe it's just because me getting a year older, a big holiday that always makes me slightly uncomfortable for some reason and then another year passes all fairly close together, which is a lot for me. At the same time once we're more into the season I start noticing other things, the stars always feel sharper when I'm standing out in the cold, if that makes sense. There're nice qualities that just take some time to remember. Thank you for helping me remember that part, beautiful video.
I think you're a very sweet soul. It's kind of the opposite for me, having lived in Texas all my life. I tend to hate the summertime; it's so hot and muggy and stifling. Too bright, too green and brown, relentless. I cherish the 12 or so days of cold weather we get each winter. I've seen snow IRL a handful of times, and never deeper than 2 inches. Is it weird that I love bleak and stark landscapes? Of course, it's easy to find things to like about summertime (like going swimming), but it's my least favorite time of year. I love hearing different perspectives, and this was wonderful to hear. I'm glad you're able to find things to enjoy about winter. :)
Interesting video, and cozy. But I'm confused - you talk about being in England, but am I totally wrong, aren't some of the signs in Welsh? I couldn't see much of the writing but it kind of looked that way. I don't know much about U.K. geography so maybe there's something here I don't understand.
I have very mixed feelings about winter, the UK only gets 5 months of the required amount of daily sunlight needed in general. When I was young there were weeks of snow and in some ways it was better which gives more light and traps some of the heat in. Having Said that I used to be so poor i couldnt afford electricity for heating and sitting in a sleeping bag all day and night was not pleasant. As for working life I cant drive which means cycling and walking in strong wind and rain and cold for a good number of months. You find that its dark when you get to work and then when you leave and you dont have a window in between then you finish on 24th Dec. however If im at my leisure I do enjoy chilly weather and light rain if im in a tent or on a porch if the atmosphere is ionized in the right way and here is a blanket handy, sitting by fountains or waterfalls. Japan has a very varied climate in winter n in Okinawa it rarely gets below 20 C but in abishiri it gets below -20 C due to the icey waters of the Ohtsk Sea (you can go whale watching on ice cutter boats) Sapporo City has the famous Ice Sculpture festival which is fantastic and there are some very popular ski resorts.Personally I like march /april which is Sakura Season it practically rains pink cherry blossom. Xmas is difficult being Autistic its always been weeks of sensory overload and mild anxiety, then dealing with difficult family members (new year is a bit better). I publically dislike it but actually dont mind it and hope it would be better than it is, I dont mind the songs my favourite is the spitting image song "no more christmas singles" which you will be lucky to find. And I really like the "Out of the blue" chistmas charity songs (especially their rendition of santa baby) and will watch one on you tube if if feel a bit down. I find january to february more depressing, and next year we have Covid and Brexit to look forward to. As its seasonal perhaps you can do a video on the "Hogfather" mini series which was adapted from terry pratchetts book?
Some bodies are suited for the spring months, some the winter, my body (regrettably so) is conditioned to the latter. I take a hidden pleasure in the shivers. Staring at a warm screen can make you forget that you can be cold...or human.
Good to see and hear you in reality and not pontificating on fictional characters! I think you need to take testosterone replacement therapy, maybe some dodgey SARMs and claim your rightful place at the top TH-cam!!! AAAaargh! Go into New Years with a pair! 😁😜👿😤😘

@@xzonia1 That's one of my favorite smells, too. ☺️
I love this internet diary style video, this really inspires me to do my own line of thought videos
There's a certain Slant of light,
Winter Afternoons -
That oppresses, like the Heft
Of Cathedral Tunes -
Heavenly Hurt, it gives us -
We can find no scar,
But internal difference -
Where the Meanings, are -
None may teach it - Any -
'Tis the seal Despair -
An imperial affliction
Sent us of the Air -
When it comes, the Landscape listens -
Shadows - hold their breath -
When it goes, 'tis like the Distance
On the look of Death -
(Emily Dickinson)

It's a very beautiful movie and I definitely recommend it to just about anyone. Also, it's quite a funny movie so don't be so put off by the dark premise.
(Granted I live in Arizona so it doesn't really get much colder than freezing temp but still) Winter is always a strange time for me, when it starts getting colder I get hit with a strong sense of nostalgia and it feels very surreal, maybe it's just because me getting a year older, a big holiday that always makes me slightly uncomfortable for some reason and then another year passes all fairly close together, which is a lot for me. At the same time once we're more into the season I start noticing other things, the stars always feel sharper when I'm standing out in the cold, if that makes sense. There're nice qualities that just take some time to remember. Thank you for helping me remember that part, beautiful video.
Sharper stars is a very good point. It makes no sense at all, and yet I get exactly what you mean 😆
"Here in England where..."
I may be Canadian, but I strongly suspect this is Wales. You can't fool me! (waggles finger)
Hahaha yes. I'm in England but all the background footage is from the channel Dave's Walks 😆
@@mylittlethoughttree Which, of course, I realised after the fact by reading the description. 🤦🏻♀️😶
About winter music: Olafur Arnalds is my go-to, usually with a mug of Earl Grey.
I think you're a very sweet soul.
It's kind of the opposite for me, having lived in Texas all my life. I tend to hate the summertime; it's so hot and muggy and stifling. Too bright, too green and brown, relentless. I cherish the 12 or so days of cold weather we get each winter. I've seen snow IRL a handful of times, and never deeper than 2 inches. Is it weird that I love bleak and stark landscapes? Of course, it's easy to find things to like about summertime (like going swimming), but it's my least favorite time of year. I love hearing different perspectives, and this was wonderful to hear. I'm glad you're able to find things to enjoy about winter. :)
For perspective, the high here tomorrow will be 71 F (22 C). Texans wear sweaters for this temperature. Lol
Ah the wonderful memories of our youth ❤️ Thank you for sharing........
The older I get the more sad I feel about winter. I'm going to move as soon as I can to somewhere warmer
Nice video though and good thoughts
My bones feel permanently cold in the winter
New video let’s go!
Interesting video, and cozy. But I'm confused - you talk about being in England, but am I totally wrong, aren't some of the signs in Welsh? I couldn't see much of the writing but it kind of looked that way. I don't know much about U.K. geography so maybe there's something here I don't understand.
It's borrowed footage from the Dave's Walks channel
@@Gravastars1 Thanks for the info. I looked into Dave's Walks and they seem to be from all over the U.K., so that makes sense.
To me, it looks like the beach at Rhyl in North Wales. It's near the English border though.
I have very mixed feelings about winter, the UK only gets 5 months of the required amount of daily sunlight needed in general. When I was young there were weeks of snow and in some ways it was better which gives more light and traps some of the heat in. Having Said that I used to be so poor i couldnt afford electricity for heating and sitting in a sleeping bag all day and night was not pleasant. As for working life I cant drive which means cycling and walking in strong wind and rain and cold for a good number of months. You find that its dark when you get to work and then when you leave and you dont have a window in between then you finish on 24th Dec.
however If im at my leisure I do enjoy chilly weather and light rain if im in a tent or on a porch if the atmosphere is ionized in the right way and here is a blanket handy, sitting by fountains or waterfalls.
Japan has a very varied climate in winter n in Okinawa it rarely gets below 20 C but in abishiri it gets below -20 C due to the icey waters of the Ohtsk Sea (you can go whale watching on ice cutter boats) Sapporo City has the famous Ice Sculpture festival which is fantastic and there are some very popular ski resorts.Personally I like march /april which is Sakura Season it practically rains pink cherry blossom.
Xmas is difficult being Autistic its always been weeks of sensory overload and mild anxiety, then dealing with difficult family members (new year is a bit better). I publically dislike it but actually dont mind it and hope it would be better than it is, I dont mind the songs my favourite is the spitting image song "no more christmas singles" which you will be lucky to find. And I really like the "Out of the blue" chistmas charity songs (especially their rendition of santa baby) and will watch one on you tube if if feel a bit down. I find january to february more depressing, and next year we have Covid and Brexit to look forward to.
As its seasonal perhaps you can do a video on the "Hogfather" mini series which was adapted from terry pratchetts book?
One person out there was having a bad day.
I love winter time
You recorded this on my birthday. It's on 7th November
Talking about barren winters that last 6 months a year... Depressed noises from Canada
That’s Rhyl
Some bodies are suited for the spring months, some the winter, my body (regrettably so) is conditioned to the latter. I take a hidden pleasure in the shivers. Staring at a warm screen can make you forget that you can be cold...or human.
Can you do a video about your thoughts on summer?
Already have!
@@mylittlethoughttree yeah, I watched the video after I commented this
I can't even enjoy the summers anymore because I spend the enitre season dreading the forthcoming autumn and winter.
Are you still making part 3 of spirited away?
I am indeed
I like winter because it's cold and I truly enjoy sleeping below thicc sheets.
Move to Russia bruh
Good to see and hear you in reality and not pontificating on fictional characters! I think you need to take testosterone replacement therapy, maybe some dodgey SARMs and claim your rightful place at the top TH-cam!!! AAAaargh! Go into New Years with a pair! 😁😜👿😤😘
