the beauty of change

This autumn has been the most beautiful I've seen in a while. 

Perhaps its all of the extraordinary colors in this small town surrounded by so many trees. Perhaps it's also combined with my maturing thoughts, my view on life currently and the future both near and far, and still being uncertain about much of it. Perhaps I'm becoming more self aware and narrowing away toward what matters most to me. 

The season of autumn is a time for change. That's why it's my favorite. That, and the colors. 

Change is always present. Little by little, things change. For me, I feel as though change is there for us to experience and to see how we deal with experience. And reflecting is super important to noticing change. Lately, I've noticed a lot of change in my thoughts, particularly. I feel suddenly much more knowledgable than I've ever felt, which makes sense considering this is the oldest I've ever been, of course. But I can learn more. Much more. And I want to. That is what excites me. To get to learn, everyday. And to meet new people. I feel as though I sound like a broken record when I say I am ready to live in a new city, a new atmosphere. However, I am content here also. I can appreciate it here. This autumn has been the most beautiful. And I can't decide whether it's because the colors are more abundant and vibrant than usual, or if I'm for once actually noticing and appreciating and emerging myself in it. I think it's the latter of the two. I am also appreciating little things and big things and change. 

On Halloween day, two of my soul sisters and I met up for a brief time to capture the beauty of this season. Surprisingly, this is the first time these two lovely ladies who both share such a sweet place in my life had met! I look forward to more adventures with people who share similar ideals, thoughts, and lifestyles. What a splendid day it was!
