Fallen for Fall

If someone asked me what my favourite season is, my answer would be:

"I dunno...Summer I guess 'cause that's when my birthday is! :)...But I kinda love all the colours of spring...and I love winter,too and I love everything about autumn...AAAAAH, I dunno,OKAY?I love all of them!Now quit torturing me and go back to the land of confusion where you came from,WILL YOU!!" And run and hide myself under the bed and cry.
 

BUT, you know, recently I've felt how the wind's turned a bit chilly at night and the Sun isn't that hot in the day anymore. And that always sort of, made me a little happy inside, inexplicably. And I can't CAN'T wait for autumn to envelope us in its divine beauty, already and give me a chance to wear my beloved, treasured hoodies...and boots.☺ That I don't own. Yet. AND yesterday, THIS happened:

Okay you should probably know that all of last week, and the last day of the week before, I've been mercilessly grounded in the windmill of giving exams. Stupid, stupid, STUPID brain cells murdering exams that would be given a life sentence to Azkaban if ever that could be possible. I'm pretty sure I flunked two of them but I couldn't even bring myself to care. Yep, that's how insensitive the cruelty and injustice has made me.

So anyway, yesterdsay was the last one. And for the last time I literally crawled out of bed with just 2 hours of sleep last night (It was Maths,you see, who would be hanged instantaneously instead of being imprisoned and also, 'cause I'd spend half of night watching MasterChef Australia and Eclipse, yeah that's how desperate exams make me.)
     
 So anyway, I step outta my home, yawning and cursing, and then I stop short. Why? BECAUSE:

THIS is sorta how the world looked like minus the trees :/

 MISTY. and you know what mist means? Don't you?Sure you do.It means WINTER is close. And you what we call that time? When Winter is close but Summer ain't far back either? Yes. Autumn.(:

  
                                     
                 
That put a huge smile on my face☺ and totally opened my eyes. WIDE. And so did my Maths paper when it came under my nose but that made me totally forget about it. For a while.

And now when I wake up,every morning,the grass is like this:
 

And have you ever walked barefoot in grass like this? Because you haven't lived yet if you haven't. It tickles your feet and it's so cold and it makes you laugh...and with the morning sun on your face, it makes you hot and cold at the same time.It's beautiful.☺
 
                   
                                 
And the days and evenings are even more beautiful,so golden. About how the sunlight don't quite fall in line and the sun looks sorta outta its usual place in the sky....Please tell me it's not just me. Please.
And, ah, the joy of walking on crunchy leaves, the indignant sound they make when you care to especially step as hard and cruelly on one as you could


                                         

And the nights are....magical. Something about the almost bare trees,as their leaves desert them one by one and gently gather at their feet. And the chilly air that sends shivers down your spine and yet not make you cold enough.

Something so sad, so romantic, so poignant about those nights, the clear moon holding still in th sky encircled by twinkling, winking stars and an occasional cloud or two on a dark canvas. It's like somehow the whole world is holding its breath.
   
 And then late at night when you curl up with a book,your hands around a steaming mug of coffee or hot chocolate and tugging your comforter just a little bit closer for warmth. Or just talking and laughing with your family, around a fire.
         

               

And of course, the scarves and boots and sweaters and hoodies and shawls and jackets hiding away in your closet. And going shopping for the season. Absolute joy. ☺


  

     I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE AUTUMN!

                                 


P.S. In honour of Autumn and also because now it sounds stupid I'm officially changing my blog name to *drumroll*......ON A HAZY AUTUMN NIGHT....which is no less stupid and all the more weird but...I dunno,OKAY?Now quit torturing me and go back to the land of confusion where you came from,WILL YOU!! *run and hide myself under the bed and cry.*
