Oktober Fest

October, the month that always makes me think of candied apples, autumn leaves, Halloween, birthdays, winter, earthy colors, peace and much, much more is finally here. It's been a pretty long year with all the stuff that's been happening. I am 23 years old. I'm a writer. I'm older. I'm smarter. I'm newer. I'm a little bit different. I am still the same. Costa and I have gotten even more closer, as I have with Emily. Teddy has been a lovely surprise as well - I'm really happy for him and Em. I've reminisced about Paris and New York, two places I've badly wanted to go to this year. One of my stories got published by Femina. First big 'writing' milestone. I earned my very first salary this year! I've blown money on a whole lot of shopping for myself and friends! I'm not complaining, it feels good. I'm looking forward to a lot of things at the moment: my 24th birthday (particularly cuz the last one didn't come), a tattoo (this month? Please, Forces, please), l'amour, new mentor (AL. Hello, fabulous writer!), Christmas presents, new books, a promotion, more shopping and yes, a meeting with the Beach Bum late winter. Here's to October and all my favourite months that shall follow: December, January, February. Yup, we've come full circle. Au Revoir!
