I’ll be damned if anyone tells me it’s too early to start decorating for Halloween or looking ahead to fall. Life is hard these days; just let us little spooky souls have our little spooky seratonin boosts in peace.

Spooky season starts AUGtober 1st, and no, I will not be entertaining other arguments 🍁🎃🍂

Announcement: this blog will officially go into full fall mode on August 1st! Get ready for those leaves and pumpkins! Yay! 🍁🎃🍂

Y'know once you get past the "it gets dark at 5pm rahhh" this is actually kind of a nice time of year. You put on pants and a sweater and it's kinda nice to go on a walk and see the golden leaves on the ground. There's a slight breeze, you can have a hot chocolate to warm your hands. You can light a candle and get lotion that smells good and chapstick that tastes nice. You can go to bed earlier to make it feel like you have more day to happen. And you can feel less guilty being "unproductive" cuz it's like. Yeah it's Raining I'm not gonna Go Outside any more than I have to I'm gonna watch a freaking movie and put on fuzzy socks and pajamas all day and maybe do a little craft if I feel like it. I was stuck in the appreciation of the summer energy for so long the only thing I would feel when it got colder was the lack of that energy, and now I see what is gained when energy is lost. I may still mourn summer now but I will mourn this calmness when the heat strikes again.
