Opening sample

First pass from the workshop. Not the ending.

January, with its long, grey days and biting cold, can feel like a relentless downpour on the soul. You wake up to a world that seems to have forgotten the warmth of the sun, and the weight of the season presses down on your shoulders. The holidays are over, and now the stark reality of the new year looms large. You might find yourself feeling a mix of relief and a profound sense of loss, a yearning for the light that seems so far away. It's okay to feel this way; the month of January can be a challenging one, but it doesn't have to be a solitary struggle.
