This must have been one of the most depressing winters in recent years. There must have been several factors (the awful weather definitely being one of them) but I don't totally understand how things could have gotten this bad.
Right now I know more people who are unhappy than happy. In fact, several of my friends have pretty much broken down. Heh, and this last part isn't doing me much good either.
I've spoken about this with a few Dutch friends around the country and there seems to be a consensus that this was an awful winter here. Even people who usually love the winter (I love it because it is so peaceful) hated the last few months.
The question though is, how are things around the world? I can only assume things are the same in Britain and Germany (and of course Scandinavian countries) - but how are things in Eastern Europe or North America?
