A Writer's Winter Night

Breathing in and holding that sharp, crisp air in my lungs,

Letting go and seeing the fogginess of my breath trickling behind me

Taking steps forward and seeing my footprints,

The shape of my shoes buried deep in blank, white snow

Walking alone in the dark

In the silence that has been unbroken for years

Looking down at the grey cement sprinkled with frosty snowflakes

And noticing the multicolored light coming from screens

Cold on the outside but warm on the inside

Surrealistic nature like hot chocolate on a cold winter day

The night is sweet with a golden silence and glowing ambiance

My eyes taking in every sight with a child's delight

The white snow so fluffy and light

Almost fantasy-like and unreal

Yet there is nothing fictitious about this scene

The beauty of a writer's winter night

Hello world!

The fact that this blog has now started... it's almost like the birth of a newborn baby. This blog can now say to whoever's reading it, "Hello world! Here I am!"

I'm a bit of a fan of the doctor's office and that's why I've decided to name this blog "In the Doctor's Office." The doctor's office is a mysterious, ironic, and blissful place that is also home to healing the sick. It's terrifying but yet so reassuring.

Why so? Well, first of all, you never know what will happen in a doctor's office. You go in sick one minute and the next minute you come out feeling much better after getting a check-up from the doctor. Maybe the doctor's words are like a placebo: "You'll get better soon. No worries." It's comforting to hear that everything's going to be ok.

Then again, the doctor's office can be described as one of the most ironic places in the world. For a place that's supposed to be sterile, hospitals aren't exactly "germ-free." When people come in for a check-up for their illnesses, they bring in germs with them which roam about in the air. Weird, but true.

And yet, a doctor's office is so blissful. Blissful, not because it smells of antibiotics and rubber gloves, but because you know that once you come out alive, you'll be safe. The doctor can help you overcome your fever or cough. It's extremely calming to know that nothing bad will happen and that sooner or later, you'll be back to normal.

These are just some of the things that make a doctor's office so fascinating. I love going to the doctor's office because I know that rest assured, I'll be fine. Doctors are so reassuring to listen to. Maybe it's because after all those years in medical school, you know they must have come out educated.

Just think about how great it must feel to live your life saving other peoples' lives. It must be the greatest feeling in the world.

I hope you enjoy reading this blog as much as I enjoy writing in it. Just like how in a doctor's office, you never know what's going to happen, this blog will be a mystery. Even to me it's a mystery since I have no idea what'll be posted on here. Hopefully, it'll be good. But for now, I'll let the mystery start to unravel itself. We'll see what interesting challenges will pop up in the future. Bye for now!
