faux fall
i can't help but continue to feel as if i'm missing out on a part of me back home. i'm missing out on fall. curtis orchard. picking pumpkins and carving them. walking around lake devonshire and watching the leaves fall. driving around town with the windows down, feeling the breeze and smelling the season. watching the kids get excited to dress up for halloween. wearing torn jeans and a hoodie and just roaming around outside at night. the nights that get cold enough to be able to see your breath in the air. raking leaves into a pile on the lawn and then jumping and laying in them. going to custard cup to have a pumpkin pie snowstorm. park hopping with emma.
fall in florida is pathetic. there are decorations. there's halloween. but it just isn't the same. fall will never feel like fall unless the weather is the way it is in the midwest. halloween is supposed to be spent wearing your costume with a backup pair of sweatpants and a jacket just in case it starts to get really cold. the leaves are supposed to naturally change colors. you're not supposed to be able to get a tan the day before halloween. i missed fall last year, and it kills me that im missing it again this year. it's the one time of year that i look forward to most, and i havent seen it in about two years. i can try to enjoy the things that fall has to offer here in florida, but it will never be quite like fall in the midwest. it'll never be like home. nothing will be. so there. florida sucks. end of story.
sorry to all you floridians out there. i feel sorry for my friends here who are native floridians. they have to put up with my constant bickering about how i despise the state i live in. honestly, the only good thing about living here is disney world. not gonna lie. i apologize for how much i tell you how much i hate your state. i'm sorry that i will forever be bitter towards this state, but you're basically just going to have to deal with it. why? because i sure as hell love illinois. that's about it.
