Search Results: when loves comes

A few studies suggest that aspects of a person's personality correlate with seasonal preferences and environmental upbringing. The climate preferences are apparently formative in what naturally recharges and comforts a person. (Similarly, preference for certain times of day are said to impact productivity levels.)

Key Personality Correlations by Season Preference:

• Winter People (Extreme/Cold): Linked to introversion, introspection, critical thinking, creativity, and emotional resilience. (Preferring quiet, introspective, cozy settings.)
• Summer People (Extreme/Hot): Linked to high energy, vibrancy, sociability, and love of physical activities.
• Spring/Fall People (Transitional/Mild): Linked to higher emotional stability, conscientiousness, agreeableness, and openness/extroversion.

Factors Influencing Seasonal Preference:

• Upbringing: People raised in milder climates tend to score higher on desirable personality traits (socialization, flexibility, etc.).
• Psychophysiological Comfort: Preferences are based on what a person associates with safety or positive stimulation.
• Birth Month: Folks tend to be subconsciously attached to the season of their birth month.
• Contrast Effect: Sometimes preference for extreme (winter/summer) weather comes from a desire for contrast.

What do you think?

Ok, so we have farm girl Dorothy Gale and then we have "proper" British girl Alice Liddell. One rolled around in a field of poppies. One indulged in Amanita muscaria. They both proceeded on journeys of self-discovery.

The following summary was entirely worded up by AI:

Dorothy’s discovery: What you need is already within you

Dorothy travels to Oz believing happiness lies somewhere else—“over the rainbow.” By the end, she learns:

Home isn’t just a place; it’s belonging, love, and self-acceptance.

Power was largely an illusion.

Deeper meaning:
Dorothy discovers that external authorities and magical solutions are often false. Growth comes from recognizing the value and strength you already possess. Oz is a lesson in self-reliance and emotional maturity.

Alice’s discovery: The instability of identity and logic

Alice’s journey is less about arriving somewhere and more about questioning everything:

Language doesn’t mean what she expects.

Rules change constantly.

Adults and authority figures are irrational or arbitrary.

Her own size and identity are unstable (“Who in the world am I?”).

Deeper meaning:
Alice discovers that the world—especially the adult world—is often nonsensical, and that logic, identity, and social rules are constructed rather than fixed. Her growth comes from learning to navigate ambiguity without losing herself.

The key difference

Dorothy learns a comforting truth: the world makes sense if you trust yourself.

Alice learns a challenging truth: the world doesn’t make sense, and that’s something you must learn to live with.

Shared revelation

Both stories suggest that childhood journeys into fantasy are really psychological awakenings:

You cannot rely blindly on authority.

Meaning is not handed to you.

Growing up involves learning how to interpret reality on your own terms.

In short:
Dorothy discovers inner wholeness.
Alice discovers existential uncertainty.

Which finally brings me to my question of the day, Who had the biggest trip?
