Sad Season of Change
5 years ago
Hey everyone.
Sorry I haven't been posting much as of late. Life has a funny way of cutting into the things we love to spend time with, so I couldn't really do much with FA.
Anywho, it appears that we have reached the official (according to calendars, and news reports) last day of Summer. Normally, every year during this time. I would be sitting back, reflecting on the fun that I had at Anthrocon, while at the same time, getting excited and making plans for Furpocalypse. Sadly, 2020 has been anything, but normal. This year has left me in a deep state of depression and anger, seeing the conventions, and furmeets that I normally like to go to cancelled in the name of safety. I do understand the reasoning behind such actions, and really can't blame them for doing so. It just pains me very much to say that there has been nothing done to enjoy the summer season.
And as we head into the Fall season, I can only look forward, and shake my head in disgust at what I see before me. October no longer carries the energy of excitement, as not only has Furpocalypse been cancelled, but many communities are discouraging, and some outright banning, trick or treating on Halloween night. Parties can only have a small limited number of guests, while keeping a bit of distance apart from one another. To me, this just kills the mood, and makes such gatherings that more awkward to be involved with. Thanksgiving most likely won't be affected, as it is mainly centered around family. This year, it'll just be me, my grandmother, and a close friend of mine whom I've known for quite some time, so I'm not overly worried about it.
From there, it is anyone's guess as to how winter will turn out, though as everyone knows, I am not a large fan of the holidays. But that is a topic for a later journal post.
For now, all we can do is sit back, and watch as the leaves change their colors, and enjoy the cooler air that moves in. The days are much shorter, and nights are longer. The advertisements of pumpkin flavored coffees and drinks have already begun their rounds over TV, radio, and streaming services, and I myself will soon be sitting down to a slice of pumpkin pie, and a glass of apple cider.
Until next time, I wish everyone a happy and safe Fall season.
That's about it.
Take care all.
