Presently it is -14 degrees celsius while it is 26 degrees celsius in Nassau. Despite that, I am enjoying this weather. It feels good to be prepared, two layers of clothing with a solid coat seem to be enough to keep me going all day long. Ahmad just has on a hoodie and claims to be fine. (I know he is dying of cold). 

In other news, I've finally selected a car to drive. Took me a while but this is it. "It" of course can mean anything at this point. I just chose a person who I am actually romantically attracted to. The others, the attraction on my side just isn't there. Life is about risks, and taking chances. I feel like it would selfish of me not to allow myself to enjoy life and to deprive people from my love simply because I am scared to be broken-hearted. Maybe five years from now I will be calling this decision dumb but examining my future, my goals, and the kind of person I am now, I feel as if this is one of the best decisions I've made so far. I always loved being around him. I can be crazy, wild, talkative, quiet and no matter what, I am me, and he reads me like a book, more than anyone that "claims" to know me. We can be on the beach quiet for hours and still feel as though we're sharing an important moment. Then we could be arguing about why do birds do what they do, oppose each other for the longest, and at the end of the argument, smile both triumphant. We share the same humor, the same core values and there is no need for me to act like anything but me because that's all he expects. We've known each for almost 4 years now and we've been through a lot more than anyone can ever imagine. He was there through the biggest challenge in my life, the BIGGEST, no joke. The fact that he stayed by my side proved something to me. It was not easy, and if I were him, I would not have been that strong to withstand the storms that we faced. I am grateful to have him in my life. My thoughts are clear and I am glad that he feels the same. I guess it took me going away from him to realize how much we mean to each other. I am looking forward to April/May when we see each other again (God spares my life). All the signs that I've seen/heard lately are connecting, they now make sense. This car has the GREEN LIGHT and is ready to go. Vroom VROOM...
