Every year I walk into your average grocery store, or craft/home decorating store, and they always have things out for the next season. It's June, why not skip a season and get your Christmas tree?
As much as I am against rushing the seasons, believe me I am, I am in such a rush to get to fall this year. I am so tired of summer and I feel like August is creeping by so slowly. It has been nonstop heatwaves, torrential downpours and crabby people.
I feel like this summer has been the worst as far as weather, in my 20 years of life I do not remember the weather in the summer being so chaotic. One minute it can be beautiful, the sun is shining at full force, not a cloud in the sky, birds chirping, then suddenly a giant dark cloud comes and it pours. Then the sun comes back out. Then it pours. You get it.
The weather is moody and I am over it. I want crisp, fall mornings as I walk to class. Where it is cool in the morning to the point where I need a light jacket, but as the day progresses I can take that jacket off and walk around in the leaves and warm sunshine. There is nothing better than fall mornings, and fall sunsets. I crave it.
I am so sick of walking outside and feeling like the heat is going to take my breath away. I know I am not the only one with this point of view lately, because I have seen so many posts on social media about everyone hating summer and being completely over it already. We all just want fall.
Now I know this article is just a rant, but I love fall so much and I just cannot wait for it. Now I do not condone having Christmas decorations out in the beginning of June, and I do love Christmas, but sometimes rushing the seasons feels good. It gives you something to look forward to.
Sometimes a change of season is a whole new beginning for some people, and I know it is for me. In the fall I feel renewed. Summer strained me but also helped me, and now fall is when the earth is now cooling and fun times are ahead. The change of leaves, Halloween, apple picking, pumpkin carving, football games. It all makes rushing the season completely worth it, and I know it does bother people, but sometimes you do have to look at it in a different perspective.
I hope someone can resonate with this article, and that you have itch for fall too. Rushing the seasons might not be a bad thing after all.
