Back where I'm from, there were never any seasons like there are here.
Every bit of the weather was controlled and left up to the desires of the people. Did more people want it to rain? To be sunny? For flowers to bloom, letting their petals float away on a breeze? Everything left up to a vote.
It feels strange to watch everything turn dull and quiet with nothing's input but Nature's own, and just as stranger to know that it will all bloom once more very much the same way.
Do you think that most situations can be like that- a two way street that has the possibility to flourish or fade away?
Or are there things that can't ever be changed from 'good' or 'bad' once they've happened?
Just some thoughts on a nice day.

Just about everyone fills them out so it's not a very big secret.

And is it required to create a file?
[If it's required to create a profile of sorts, then what's stopping people from providing false information?]
no subject
For example, I selected "Music" and "Linguistics". The person I'm traveling with, Royce, selected "Engineering" and "Mathematics".
No, it's not required. However, it's considered so mundane and normal, people can't imagine having nothing and it rarely happens. My boyfriend did something a bit like that, however. He didn't even let his picture get taken. The only thing he filled out was the "Reasons Cited" area.

Your boyfriend must have cared a great deal about secrecy, though I can't say I blame him. If the government has information on the vast majority of citizens, then they could very well use it for less than pleasant means. I'm not saying that they would, but I'd likely be skeptical myself.

They could. I suppose it's not even the government that needed to be worried about. Just one or two people.
