    I wish it were fall vacation, and normalized for even adults (around the world, not just as a job benefit for some but as a fact of life) to take at least a month off somewhere between late August and the end of October. That’s peak time to go outside and enjoy the changing weather, perfect temperature for a light jacket, enjoy the scenery with all the trees changing colors, etc – the middle of summer’s just too fucking hot, now. You’re either boiling alive in the sun or it’s pissing rain, and no in-between. It’d probably do wonders for the average person’s mental health, and air quality/the environment, too, if everyone just took a month off around the same time each year and it was just a thing you were expected to have.

    Buuuuut line must go up and we’ve got pumpkin spice lattes to sell, so.

      Big autumn head myself! It’s just so fucking cozy.
      I have a big lake here and everyone is just walking around it in circles all day long because Autumn is just so cool.
      The falling leaves are my kind of cherry blossoms, very short lived but so beautiful.
      I don’t how anybody would prefer any other season. Like whats is wrong with you?!
      Everyones talking about how great flowers in spring smell, but have you smelled autumn?!
      Im just a bit sad it took me 24 years to realize, if not I would have cherished them alot more.
      It is no use though to dwell in past though, looking forward to lots of really cozy autumns!!

          Rainy can be cozy depending on the severity. November is only miserable because its so close to Winter, that has nothing to do with Autumn.

      My dad has worked in the same white collar job since he graduated highschool and he doesn’t get paid anything super great or have a pension or anything, but he has like 5 weeks of vacation a year. Ever since I was a little kid he’s always taken 2 weeks off every fall and just spent it puttering around in the yard, going for walks, and enjoying the weather.
