“September - sometimes things only add up if you let them go. We can prevent warm summer nights from shortening and growing colder no more than I could stop you from walking out that door when you were already over the threshold. Some endings are inevitable. If August was all about remembering and reminiscing - dipping your toes in the cool lake, recalling how the sun made her hair shine and her freckles stand out, feeling invincible - September is about letting go. This month, take your time. You don’t have to move on, not yet. In September, you come to terms with memories of sunlit days you will not get back, with the knowledge that there are some hands you’ll never touch again. We can’t hold on to everything. Sometimes it just gets too heavy. The last traces of summer are still there, but they’re fading. And that’s okay. The world never stops moving but neither do we. There’s no reason to rush, no need to forget or to pretend. Cut the ties that bind you to things and people that have only ever hurt you and let them go. September can be a fresh start, a clean slate, if you allow it to be.”
