365 Creative Writing Prompts: Day 1 - "Outside the window"
It's currently nighttime already. I was supposed to start this earlier in the day, but bc of work and a bit of procrastination, here we are. It's January in the Philippines, which means it's my favorite weather/season. It's this sunny, dry but cool season for us. Not too much rain (sometimes none at all for days) and the sun feels amazing, not the way it is during the peak days of summer where it feels like it's trying to burn you alive. I've always imagined myself living in a country that has 4 seasons, i think i'd like to experience that even once in my life. But thinking about completely moving out of the Philippines? I don't think i can. I may sometimes hate the heat and humidity living in this country, but it seems like i'll miss the sun if i ever actually live somewhere where it's not as sunny. For the longest time, i don't think i ever appreciated the full effects of the sun to a human being until i experienced autumn going to winter in Japan. There's a reason why there's such a thing as "seasonal depression". The sun actually helps us feel "warm" not just on the outside, but also inside. That's also why more depressive people are night owls. The early birds really have it figured out. It's not to say that early birds are ~better~, they are not. It's just that waking up and and sleeping with the sun actually helps improve one's mental health. I am speaking from experience. I used to have very bad insomnia, which coincided with my depressive years. But things started to change when i had to change my sleeping schedule bc my job forced me to be extremely exhausted, which forced me to fall asleep earlier then wake up earlier. It drastically improved my mental health. I felt... better. I could feel joy. I had better discipline. I just felt happier over all. Altho i do miss being awake late into the night, listening to my inner thoughts and pouring them on paper, recording an accompanying melody with it, i was happier with the new routine.
