Happy first day of autumn! Despite my resistance to it, I always end up falling for this season.
I’m pretty sure I forgot to post what my summer goals were. My list was something like “work on my shop, wear a romper…” There was probably something about exercising in there. Anyway, I don’t have specific autumn goals, but I want to work on redefining the season for myself.
Autumn reminds of a lot of good things: my birthday parties growing up, my grandma’s old house/my favorite place in the world, staying home from school when I was sick (because it was cozy, not because I was sick), pumpkin flavors and sweaters (obvs), Christmas tree lightings, my dad dressing up as Santa for community events (he still does), times when my Aunt Linda was here… All of these things are really good memories. But it’s a bittersweet season. It reminds me of unfortunate things: Losing people I love, being heartbroken a couple times, having the urge to cut my bangs myself and then ending up with horrible hair for a year… :)
I remember last year, I just wanted to fast forward through autumn and get to summer already. This time, I’m going to try to take in all of the memories, good and bad, even if it hurts sometimes. I just want to be present. And I want to build new memories that will later become the things I think of when I smell rain or eat something pumpkin flavored.
So there you have it. I’m an emotional girl and autumn makes me crazy. But I love it. I’ll be blogging about autumn lots to hold myself accountable about making the best of it.
I hope you are all having a nice Sunday!

September itself holds some hard memories for me so I understand where you’re coming from! But, it is the hard time that make the good times that much better, so I’m ready to be present and a participator of this beautiful season! Happy Fall!

Happy Autumn! This is definitely my favorite season. <3 I’m so excited!
I completely understand how you feel, and I go through that with March every year, and also with parts of Winter because of some events we went through.
I’m never been a big Summer girl, despite LOVING our personal holidays… until this year. I had a friend do a stone reading for me (like tarot, but with stones!) and ’tis was for each season, and she reminded me of how important every season is, and Sol (Sun), and to let him enter my life, etc.
I had an amazing Summer because of her advice!
