Maybe it's because my birthday is in October.
The finest memories of fall are from elementary school.
Such a time of plasticity.
The falling orange and red leaves echoed the red brick of my school.
Every season was a time of color which instilled in me feelings of warmth and darkness and wetness and thanksgiving community.
Calm is what fall instills.
Maybe because everything is dying?
That's when the heater comes on.
The heater in my house drones and has a calming effect on me, maybe that's why fall instills calm.
Fall makes me feel safe.
Maybe because we are beginning to hunker down for winter.
Halloween is in the fall.
Halloween makes me feel safe, maybe because there are monsters out but I know they are not real.
Excitement as well as a sense of community because everyone around me is doing something for Halloween, we are all acknowledging that it exists as a group.
Quiet fall.
Sleepy fall.
Warm fall.
Wet fall.
Sick fall?
I could see how fall could remind some people of sickness and its negative feelings, like the feelings I have for Reign of Fire.
Fall, a dimming of the Earth.
Winter, a death.
Spring, a birth.
Summer, a life.
Fall is the time you have to reflect on the year.
I feel like New Years is misplaced, it should be in the fall.
Why should it be between December and January?
Why not between October 25th and October 26th?
I win calendar makers.
October has never been eight to me, but orange.
