Just like life craves colours, the fading of January reveals quite a reality: nothing has really changed, only the table got a new calendar. Resolutions and results create pressure, and the end of January loosens it, asking the last of a few from the west wind to blow fully.

But everyone must face the cold before it passes, and in that passing, a sense of emptiness appears. That’s when love is needed the most.
Maybe that’s why February is not the end of the beginning. It’s a wake-up call for many, just like animals rising from hibernation.
Maybe that’s why they say February is the beginning.
