shocking realization

So this past week I said something.. something I thought would never leave the mouth of ME.

Ever.

 but it did. and i don't have any regret.

Wanna know what it was?

"I love fall."

That was it. three words. three short words.

but they hold a lot of weight.

to be honest i have always DREADED fall. I would cringe just thinking about it. I wasnt even sure exactly why.Everyone in my fam seems to ADORE it. I've always had a deep hate for it.

I think it may have to do with the fact that SUMMER has my loyalty. And saying i liked fall which so harshly replaces beautiful summertime made me feel like i was betraying it. or maybe it's because the idea of carefree days being replaced by school is downright depressing. 

or maybe it has to do with the fact that the weather changes and i have to say goodbye to wearing my swimsuit all day long and say hello to pale skin.

but i guess i've matured enough to realize you really can love more than one season. (i'm so grown up)

It's really okay. and no one is going to get their feelings hurt.. (hopefully) :)

So that's that. Fall is wonderful. Life in general is wonderful.
