A Seasonal Shift

I need to manifest a seasonal shift. Away from panic and towards restoration. 

I’m jealous of people who love Autumn. Who welcome the change of weather and the coziness of it all. For me, it’s always been a season of dread. I feel like I’m bracing myself - for the school year, for winter, for the **Christmas season** … oh god help me, I’m already spiralling. Experience has taught me that autumn is fraught with anxiety and exists only to make you stronger and better prepared for the apocalypse. 

And so far, this September proven itself to be as wicked as ever. 

Maybe I need to change the narrative. Is it possible that all of the season’s shittiness cafme in the first few weeks and the rest will be easier? Maybe the tides are turning. Maybe this is the first year that autumn will bring coziness and comfort. One can only hope. 

An autumn wish list:

1. A healthy and happy family

2. More music, more candles

3. New glasses

4. All things navy

5. A solo weekend away
