Falling for Autumn

1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11

Dear Summer,

I have a confession to make.
When we first got together this year, I had spring fever. 
I was, in fact, delusional.
Sure, you are really hot.
And at first it was refreshing,
but now these heat waves are driving me mad. 

I thought maybe I could sweat it out,
but at the end of the day, I'm miserable.
And I hate to say it, but...
You're always sticky and need a shower :/
So, it was nice while it lasted, but we need a break.

I think it's only fair you know the real reason...

You see, there's this season named Autumn.
He comes to visit me each year, and I fall harder every time.
He is so much cooler than you.
I'm so much more comfortable when he's around.
Just a breeze and he makes my cheeks flush.
He likes to sip hot cocoa by the fire with me on cold nights.

...I could never do that with you!
Plus, you keep nagging me to shave my legs, and I'm just tired of it.

I'm asking you to leave. 
Today, if possible.

I'm really sorry we couldn't work it out.
I mean, maybe if Autumn bails, we can try again next year...
But for now I think it's clear we both need to move on.

xo, KV

P.S. ...one more tan before you go?

  3. How many ways can I scream YES!

    Just yesterday I tweeted that it was time to "come out" and admit that fall is my REAL favorite season. There's just too much to enjoy. And your "Break-Up" letter is 100% correct!

    Love it!!

  11. Yes, this is me in a nutshell. I'm ready for autumn. It's my favorite season. My husband's too! Halloween and Thanksgiving are our favorite holidays. ;-) Christmas and NYE are fun, but it's more about loving winter than it is the gift giving and food!
