I love autumn. It’s still a little warm for my
liking and Illinois won’t actually decide what season it wants to be for weeks,
but the change in the air is there. A cooler breeze, gentler nights. It’s
great. And I admit to being a bit of a basic white girl, enjoying the aesthetic
and pumpkin spice lattes. Not that I have them often, but I enjoy them when
there’s the option.
Not to mention that Halloween is my favorite
holiday and one of the only ones that I actually look forward to. I don’t like
celebrating so much as I just love the atmosphere. Aesthetic again!
I recently finished reading Stranger in a Strange
Land by Robert Heinlein. It was an interesting read and I recommend it if you’re
interested in the acquired taste of classic science fiction. It managed to be
old-fashioned and yet progressive at the same time, as science fiction inherently
is. Sci-fi is all about taking a current concept and imagining what would
happen if you take it to its extreme; of course, that means that there can
still be a lot of contemporary values playing in the background of the story.
One of the things I liked most about the story is
the concept of “grokking.” And if you want to know what that means… read the
book. And then you’ll grok it.
As for me personally, I’ve been feeling much better.
My mood has been up and I have been having better thoughts about the future.
Things aren’t as heavy right now.
