I also like to find the things that I really look forward to in a season, because it can be really frustrating to feel overwhelmed. But if I can put a fun spin on it, then I get excited despite being very basic. Sometimes fall is not my favorite season. It's actually summer. So I'm a little sad to see summer go, but there's so much to look forward to. In fall. The city I live in— I live in Richmond, Virginia— is so big on holidays. Like, seriously, I think like August 1st some people started putting up their Halloween decorations. So it feels like every day there's more and more like crazy Halloween decor to enjoy. So that's really fun. Looking forward to all those holidays, getting to see friends and family I don't normally see. I love to decorate. So like October 1st at midnight, if I can, I'll be Throwing up all my Halloween decor, starting to play more scary movies.
