autumn is preferable.

I've loved getting to be outside a lot this past week. it's been the perfect intro to fall. i can't soak it up enough. i just wish i could pause time before it decides to make a swift, cold exit.

i'm amazed at how quickly the leaves have changed almost without my noticing. it's like i opened my eyes and [surprise!] they are a completely different color.

it's really similar to how i've felt since moving & it's what i needed to happen. i needed my summer leaves to change and eventually fall off of the tree. i needed that swift, orderly change.

but it's good because, like autumn leaves, i can see the beauty that came from really hard times. I can appreciate them and let these old leaves fall because i know that soon new leaves will grow in their place.

"the seasons remind me that i must keep changing"

abigail- in process.
