The leaves are turning, the air is breezy, the grass has that ever so perfect texture that makes you want to savor those last few days of barefooted-ness. The atmosphere has that certain feel about it - the one that makes the hairs on your neck stand up as you take all of it in. It's Autumn. And all that is on my mind lately and all that I can think about is a good cup of coffee and the strong desire to grab a blanket, go find a nice shady spot and read something new.

However, I am the woman who has an issue with saying the word, 'no.' I'm the one who has the constant need to fulfill every duty asked of me. I am the girl who works 3 jobs, goes to school, is involved on campus and somehow manages to maintain a relationship.

But why? Why the absolute heck am I like this? I hate this person. This is not who I am. I don't like full plates, I never can be fully satisfied when I eat too much anyways - always a little too full and it leaves me feeling sick.

So, I have decided to turn a leaf (an autumn leaf). I'm going to start doing things that make me happy. I've decided to spend money on things that I want. I'm gonna start embracing the little moments that life has to give and I think that I will enjoy it.

So that is that. And all I have to say is expect to see some inspirational crap next week!
