Lately I've been feeling a slight urge for change. A feeling that I couldn't quite put my finger on but this morning I noticed it immediately; the air was cold and crisp, the sky was foggy and grey and most importantly, I felt more snugly than I have done in a while. I don't know why, but autumn has a special charm to it, a charm that spring and summer don't seem to poses. It brings that warm feeling that makes you want to hug every person you see because, well, you're just feeling cosy.
Today, I was sitting inside with the rain pouring down, listening to the constant tick as each raindrop made me feel cosier and cosier. I was wearing a thick woolen jumper that I would never wear in public because it is something that looks like an old, worn, carpet that you would find in the attic of forgotten house and I realised that autumn is closer than we think. Whenever august comes around I think that summer has only just reached its peak, while September is already the month where we start looking for Halloween costumes.
I suppose it's the smaller things in life that can make us feel utterly safe and secure.
I can't wait for the colour of the leaves to change and drop. I can't wait to go outside wearing a thick winter coat while seeing my breath appear as the coolness colours in my cheeks. Autumn and winter are definitely my favourite times of the year!
