one goes about Fall alone.
As in, how does one do things in Fall alone?
Let's try pumpkin carving. So you go buy a pumpkin from the grocery store - not even a farm, because you're definitely not going to a farm alone - and you bring it home, set it on your table. You couldn't even start lopping the top off before you have a panic attack about how lonely and pathetic your life is.
Go jump in leaves. Rake up a pile of leaves. Look around to see who's watching you. Coast clear? Run and jump in those suckers. For approximately 5 seconds before you get bored. If you last any longer, your neighbor is definitely not gonna think you're a complete wacko. Not.
Snuggling. By yourself? That's a little awkward I think... ahem.
Walk through the woods to admire the leaves. Hold your own hand when it gets cold. Sit pensively on a log, like filler footage on the Bachelor. Get bored.
Eat pie alone. I guarantee you won't feel like a pathetic fat ass. While you're at it, eat two or three pieces - emotional eating at its finest!
Roast marshmallows. See eat pie alone.
Go to a haunted house, corn maze or hay ride. Yeah, when's the last time you peed your pants?
Trick or Treat alone. As an adult. In a creepy costume. Good luck convincing the police of your innocent motives.
Point is, Fall should be shared. To be cozy with someone, rub cold noses, warm each other's hands, steal flannels, have quiet conversations in the warm sun on a cool day, share a carefully prepared meal, laugh together while creating or playing, it's the only way to truly have a beautiful fall. I can't wait.
