The month of September had always been gloomy.

Over these years numerous friends suggested: Being optimistic's a solution to many. Smile more, stretch your arms, offer your hand, open your eyes, widen your pace. I hear it so often (bet you do too) I swear I can stuff some socks in that fella's mouth.

Kidding.

But those years of 'brainwashing' had worked, I believe. At least it's improved my silly thinking. Just imagine the world as little pieces of ice on water, and we would all be little lamps on those little pieces of ice.

How long are you able to remain stationary? How long can your lamp last before the ice melts? Eventually you'll have to move on to another piece, with your lamp getting warmer each time, and the ice melting faster. Solution? Just keep moving until you're too tired to. There's no iceburg in the world.

What if you collide with another lamp and join up? All the more vulnerable you are, as you begin to melt faster. Choose to be together with more warmth, the faster you'll perish. If anything happens to the other lamp, just move on. Staying on that piece for too long would mean the end of you as well. Do anything to keep yourself burning, only you can determine how much oil you have.

I hope no one's as stupid as to forget that ice melts.

September is no more gloomy. Just, not as sad.
