timing is everything!
fall is my favorite season, but it’s also a very distracting stretch of three months. september is transitional and seasonally confusing; I spend most of it getting back into a routine and mourning the loss of summer, even though deep down I’m always ready to let it go. october comes and goes in the blink of an eye, and while I’ve definitely outgrown halloween, october may objectively be the best month of the year. I’m not yet worried about the impending doom of winter, everything is pumpkin flavored, the leaves begin to turn, and the dozen light jackets taking up space in my closet are finally released off their hangers for their brief moment of glory. I’ve grown to love november, but it’s become normalized for christmas décor to go up november 1st, which feels wrong. it effectively shortens the fall…
