In Which Writing Brings Christmas Close to the heart!

Hello, hello! Good morning, my friend, reader of this present post!! Happy Tuesday, how are you? How were your past days so far? I hope yout week is going well, one step at a time! As for me, it is okay I suppose, days of quiet melancholia and dryness. Not all, but many have been on this unfortunate scenario. It is not as bad today, I won't take any moment of less sadness for granted! The weather has been on a pattern of heating, given it will be summer soon, on the land down under, but still I can wear socks, I can use sweaters on the late evening. Soon even the night will be one of hot air. At least It will also be December, and the christmas season will alleviate the horrid sun.

Have this nice Artificially generated image, in a festive mood, because it will soon be December!!! A bit belated, of course, given my birthday is two months behind, but still...

One way I have of bringing the season, the beautiful Christmas Holiday, into my life some more, given as I live with mom, decoratings are never here, is to write about it, draw themes on it, and make sure to pay proper homage to the memories of older times, that seem to be growing further distant... the moments of my school holidays, when the magic of christmas would collide with the relieving idleness of not needing to worry about homework or routine. I do not mean that the season grew out of its specialness after high school, quite the opposite, as many established personal traditions I have now developed after high school, but I do mean that it is different now, as college is different, and the idleness that was once magical grows weary at times, now. I keep on mentioning because it is true: christmas is the best gift of christianity. Imagine if we were to listen to the dissidents, and not have this holiday in such high esteem. I see what makes their heart sing, and the objects of their desires is ugly and would ruin the seasons, to say the least. After the abolition of Christmas, they'd go for the birthdays, and Easter, and anything not designed to make one repent and feel miserable. No. I won't have any of their guilty words. While I don't have many concrete plans so far, besides rejoicing in the days as I can, I already worked on yet another themed christmas drawing, and I am quite happy with it. Hopefully this late October will see more of those. Has been times of difficulty concerning my head, that tends to lamenting the hours, but as life goes, perhaps I can recover one of them at a time. 

The year, of course, still should have excitement, as Anno 117 will be released in November 13th, Europa Universalis 5 will come out on the 3rd if I'm not mistaken. I am quite looking forward the new Anno, I think I mentioned that one before, their demo just got removed, in preparation for the final days of the release circuit. Europa Universalis 5 is one that may surprise me, but I won't rush to purchase it, given if this one is as frustrating as the 4th entry of the franchise, I will not rush to play it. While I wait, I meddle with Anno 1800, and at times with Sims 3, given Sims 4 is one game I am happily not being able to return to. Maybe I can still give Sims 4 a play one moment of the other, but once you have tried the vast world of the 3rd entry, the claustrophobic one of the 4th is never easy to just accept. There is also Victoria 3, that I still open more than I should, given it is just less frustrating than Europa Universalis 4. I should make an effort to try the new ones I have, the September issues, I keep looking at them, but how hard to get into a new title.

Now, we should move towards wrapping today's journal entry, on the divagation store! Of course, I hope I can be back soon, for more thoughts and routine narration. Maybe I will have something to say concerning topics that are more serious, certainly a thousand things keep happening on the supersonic at the speed of light timeline of 2025, it has the opposite effect on me, though: in many moments, I feel numb instead of stimulated. Too much happening, the world moves exponentially and my remedies cannot grasp where one is heading, if any place at all. Anyway... if I can still have my daily quiet routine, I suppose it is what it is.

See you again real soon, dear friend! Hopefully before November! Maybe October will see one or two new posts, but I'd love if my brain could work with me, and I can write three without forcing the words out too much. If when drawing, at times the pencil feels heavy, when writing, at times the air feels like is cement around me, and my soul scream and wants to go away like a helium baloon when let go of one's hands. It is what it is. At the end of the day, I am happy to see you, and again, see you again real soon!!
