My best friend was born in March, and she hates the chill of winter with a burning passion. Up until recently, I'd just associated this feeling with the fact that I was born in October, so obviously I would think highly of the season, right? But that’s not necessarily true. I know myself, and I have always felt this intense, emotionally charged, almost spiritual connection to autumn. I’ve been racking my brain for the perfect adjective to sum up the fall feels, and it wasn’t until lifestyle blogger Actually Alexandra asked her followers on Instagram if they, too, felt nostalgic during the fall, that it hit me: Fall is every bit nostalgic, and maybe that’s why so many people, myself included, are so in love with everything autumnal. To me, fall is so nostalgic: It’s the only season out of the four that I can honestly say makes me feel like the best version of myself, and maybe that’s because it brings out the child in me. Go ahead, call me #basic it won’t bother me one bit.


But, judging by the calendar’s standards, you and I still have some time before pumpkin season makes its formal debut. In recent years, I haven’t had much patience for hot weather, so as far as I’m concerned, I was ready to get the fall rolling on Sept.
