The Smell of my Pumpkin Spice Tea Makes Me the Happiest Person Alive

It reminds me of fall. It reminds me of the smell and the cool but not cold air and it reminds me of a time when I was happy doing what I was doing. I had just moved to Seattle and everything was fresh and new and exciting. It reminds me of getting out of tech rehearsal early and walking down Broadway and the sun was shining the gentlest of breezes was blowing and I was filled with an elation that only the changing of the seasons can bring.
I miss that time. I miss being happy just because it was autumn and there wasn't a cloud in the sky.
I hope that this feeling returns this fall, when I'm at a new school studying what I've always known in my heart I should be studying. Everything will be beautiful.
