Nostalgia


Fall is almost here and as it does every year, it brings back a lot of memories and even a little sadness. Maybe it's simply because it brings with it the most change. As the cooler air moves in I think about the years of going back to school. Whether it was a new year of high school or packing up for college, there was always this feeling of saying goodbye to something good and facing something unknown. The air is different in Fall. There are different smells like apples, pumpkins and fire places. There is a feeling of both comfort and nostalgia. There is a warmth beneath the hoodies and flannel sheets, but a chill in the air that warns you of the winter soon to come. It is beautiful to see the leaves change and a shame that not everyone gets to witness it. Although I say I'd like to live in a warmer climate I wonder if I would miss all this. There's nothing like a great pair of boots and a cozy sweater. Bitter sweet: that's the best way to describe it.
