Darkness

Now that we are approaching December 21, the days seem to be getting shorter and shorter. I don't like getting home and only having an hour of daylight. While December is a fantastic month filled with breaks and festivities, its darkness is something that I will never like. In general, darkness in itself is not a good thing in my opinion. It makes people scared, people do more crimes in the dark, and it makes many people tired. It also makes the days feel shorter, which I don't find good. I want the days of Christmas break to feel like the longest days of the year, not the shortest. Looking at this problem from a broader lens, however, I suppose that there are more serious things to complain about than the simple fact that it is getting dark too early. Even still, I think it needs to be complained about. I am already looking forward to December 22nd, because from that day and on the days will slowly feel longer instead of shorter. Until then, I suppose I will have to muddle through these mid-December days....
