felt this post very much! I am just back from a walk as I type this, and had been thinking back to my uni days. I'm painting memories of edinburgh atm as a way to reconnect with the city where I lived, when I felt exactly as you describe, grey - everything was grey for me too in these years. It feels pretty darn lovely to be able to revist these places that felt so disconnected at the time and actually see and feel it in colour! thanks for writing this piece :)
It was actually last year and prior… This Spring feels more like my first…I used to want to hide under the covers in Spring and Summer… for similar reasons that you mentioned related to depression. But it was validating to read your words. You articulated it so well.

Thanks for your thoughtful comment. I love the thought of revisiting places and seeing them in colour, I’m so glad you get to witness it
Your words in this post were so relatable to my present life… Thank you for sharing this story❤️
If you are in some grey place, then it must mean you have a wonderful Spring to look forward to one day, no matter how impossible that seems ❤️
