I feel my nostrils close with the icy air from "summary" of The Bolivian Diary by Che Guevara
As the biting cold of the high altitudes seeps into my bones, I am acutely aware of how the frosty air pierces through every layer of clothing, sending shivers down my spine. The thin mountain air seems to freeze the very breath in my lungs, making each inhalation a struggle against the frigid temperatures that threaten to overwhelm me. I can feel the icy tendrils of the air creeping up my nostrils, causing them to constrict and making each breath feel like a sharp intake of frozen needles. The sensation is jarring, a stark reminder of the harshness of the environment I find myself in. The struggle for each breath becomes a battle against nature itself, as I fight against the numbing cold that threatens to engulf me. Despite the discomfort, there is a strange beauty in the starkness of the landscape around me, the snow-capped peaks and frozen valleys stretching out in all directions. The air may be cold and unforgiving, but it carries with it a sense of purity and clarity that is hard to find in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. In this inhospitable environment, I am reminded of my own mortality, of the fragility of human life in the face of nature's indifference. The icy air serves as a constant reminder of the harsh realities of existence, a reminder that every breath we take is a gift to be cherished and not taken for granted.
