Driftwood...

I think the only thing harder than losing someone that you care about is watching them walk away. It's one thing to cope with a complete loss, but that is a change that is so drastic it demands adaptation. But when you care about someone and they just don't seem to get it... it sucks. A lot. It frustrates me that we can get so caught up in ourselves that we just begin to fall apart at the seams. Of course this is nothing that a little bit of fine tailoring couldn't fix, but it seems so hard to thread that needle to begin repairs.

Anyways, I'm sitting outside in a hoodie and shorts and it is so cold right now. Autumn is definitely making its mark on the weather. I can smell the leave losing their color and I can feel the frost getting ready do replace the summer dew. I think the most exciting part about fall for me is the fact that it kills all the plants. Not because I hate vegetation by any means, but because it means that when they rise again come spring, it is a new chance for all of them to grow again. A chance to bring forth new fruits and flowers and a chance to be even more beautiful that the previous season. Seasons change, that is inevitable; but springing new life is hard. Sometimes I think that it would be easier to just continue being a seed in the ground than to ever chute forth.
