Happy October! šš
āIām so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.ā āL.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables š» Ahh-ctober, youāre finally here! This is the month I anxiously and impatiently look forward to all year long, like a child who canāt wait to throw on a costume and go trick-or-treating. This go-around will a be a particularly busy time for me, as I am planning a party (not Halloween related, surprisingly), hoping to go to a party (Halloween related, not surprisingly), and trying to coordinate other activities and festivities. Truth be told, I am slightly overwhelmed, but I am going to keep trudging through, all in the name of…

All Hallowsā Eve
the night when the veil between worlds is most thin cinnamon leaves, candy apples sweet as sinā a knock on the door; you welcome it in. laughter and screams, festivities begin. porches glowing orange and howling in the wind. disembodied voices usher the eerie night in. now is the time for haunts to begin enter the night of ether and cinnamon.

The Greatest Show…
Turn on the cameras. Do a good deed. Make sure to broadcast it for all the world to see. Sheās such a good person. Heās simply the best. So generous and giving, theyāre not like the rest. Weāre so unworthy. Theyāre so genuine and loving. Itās okay if they feed their egos, as long as they feed the hungry. …even though theyāre taking full advantage of someone elseās situationāhaving no reservations. We idolize exploitation and ignore the degradation. They gain adoration and followers by playing and preying on anotherās sense of self preservation. Making a spectacle so they can be put on a pedestal, like baiting and demonstrating a trained…

Dreaming of October
I sit here in my bedroom, with my AC blasting. Although I canāt tolerate the heat and humidity, my seasonal depression is thankful for longer days and just more good olā sunshine. I truly love being able to swim outside in the day and sit on our back deck at night, while listening to the crickets chirp. Despite all of this, I canāt help but long for October. Thereās just something about those crisp fall days, colorful leaves sprinkled on the ground like confetti, the chilly air hugging your skin…Cozy cardigans, candy apples, the warm glow of scented candlesā Itās a comforting season, to say the least. Until then, Iāll…

witches
they called them witches and let them burn. they said they were put under a spell. one by one, it became their turn. they left a story for us to tell. they cast their stones, let them be spurned, watched along as each one fell. nowadays we say weāve learned, but we still buy the lies we sell.

The Not-So-Great Depression
After a very long delay, I am finally back at it. I seem to unintentionally have taken a premature hiatus from this blog. After only writing one post? What is up with that? I know, I know… Call it writer’s block, if you will. In all honesty, I had originally planned to discuss skincare (that’s still coming–no worries). However, I completely lacked the motivation to cover that topic. I wanted to write about something that rang true for me in this very moment, so I’m writing this instead. A couple months ago, I started to feel a little better. I began Marie Kondo-ing my apartment and life. I was doing…

Sometimes it’s Okay Not to Feel Okay.
I’m sure you’re familiar with the following scenario. You encounter over a dozen strangers and acquaintances on any given day. They casually ask how you are doing. You offer the generic reply, “I’m okay.” You say it because that is what’s expected. It is the socially acceptable response in that situation. You don’t particularly care to get into the nitty gritty details of your day, nor does the other person probably want to delve into all of the crap you currently have going on in your life. You say that you’re fine because it’s the polite thing to say. You say you’re all right so that you both can move…
