Living wealthily in October.

Can you believe that it is October? It's such a blissfully confusing month. It is the height of autumn and soon will begin the rapid descent into winter. One day last week I wore a t-shirt and flip-flops, by the next I was wearing multiple sweaters and thick socks. I love that about October, it's ability to surprise you.

Everything about October is bittersweet, but in a good way. Like dark chocolate, rich and smooth. And when October sneaks up on me (which it does well) I am so glad to have it back again, and yet dreading the end of the year and the reminder that I am my time is running short.

In less than two months I will graduate and all of this will be over. It is a sad sort of triumph. Graduating is a wonderful idea, but I will miss it. Especially if this is the end of my Provo days. I think people (myself included) get too caught up in embracing future changes, we want to move forward and leave the past behind (which is only right to a certain extent). But if you do not regret the change, did you ever really love the past?
