No longer do I find daisies unpleasant to look at because they diligently bloom one by one, signaling the arrival of winter without feeling cold at all. No longer do I have chest pains and suffocation because it's November and the weather is as hot as mid-summer.
The way winter comes is also surprising. When people are bored and no longer believe in the familiar words and phrases - familiar to the point of boredom - describing the cold wind that never seems to come, then winter appears. Waking up in the morning, opening the window to the cool breeze is very pleasant. Children are reminded by their parents to wear more sweaters and thin coats so that when it gets hot at noon, they can gradually take off each layer of clothing to avoid getting a fever. Adults just need to take out the coat from the closet that is ready in the nearest drawer.

Spring, Summer, Fall and then Winter. Winter will come, sooner or later because of climate change. It goes on like this from year to year. The same goes for life, Spring, Summer, Fall and then Winter. When looking in the mirror, suddenly seeing a few silver strands, you know that Autumn has come. Although sometimes I still think that gray hair is due to bad blood. One day, I was suddenly startled because Winter came without even knocking on the door. That was when the pain in my bones and joints became more intense; when combing my hair, I no longer dared to lift up the dyed hair because the roots were white - the graying could no longer be excused by the reason of bad blood. Even when taking pictures, even though I used skin-smoothing software, I could still faintly see wrinkles on my face. Now I only confidently wear big sunglasses when taking pictures to hide the crow's feet. But when the "necklaces" around my neck appear more and more, creating wrinkles over time, I can't hide that Winter has come.

Winter came when the owner of the restaurant told the person with her, "Two bowls of pho thighs cost 140,000 VND, and the fish float in your mother's bowl is free." There, with a difference of more than ten years, outsiders now think we are mother and daughter. Just 1-2 years ago, the older one would have been mistaken for the younger one. However, now winter has come, when I have just turned 50. Even though I dye my hair fashionably and take care of my skin diligently, I still have to face winter. Then suddenly my night's sleep becomes shorter, I can't sleep even though I have nothing to think about, but I still wake up early in the morning when it's still dark. I'm also not very confident when wearing short skirts and boots when the cold wind blows... Well, Dong, let's face each other so that when I suddenly want to watch the program "Live Healthy - Live Usefully" I won't be surprised.
Winter comes unexpectedly. There is nothing to do but accept it, because it is the law.
