Fall is here. Fall is my favorite season and im thrilled that it has finally arrived. I love waking up in the morning and going outside to have the cool crisp air present. Leaves will soon begin to change color and make everything prettier to look at. With fall here sadie hawkins and Halloween are right around the corner, which means more time I'm going to be able to hangout with my friends. Also with fall comes a new clothes, which is always great. This fall is going to be great and I can't wait to see how it turns out.

The unkown is something that is feared by some and thought to be exciting by others. Some people like not knowing what is instore for them, or what lies ahead. They enjoy surprises and knowing what they are up against at the last minute. Others like to be planned out and hate surprises. These are the people that hate not knowing what is ahead of them, not knowing what's around the courner drives them insane. Their reasons for wanting to know may differ, some may want to be able to prepare themselves for what is coming, where as others don't want to worry about it until they have to. Both ways are acceptable ones to handle situations it is all about your personal preference.

It is strange how life works in its complex yet simplistic cycle. Everyone colliding with each other in a way, but not always getting to know one another personally. In some cases we meet people and stick with them, and in others we grow apart. We are always growing and changing and leaving and bringing people with us throughout our life. There are those people who have always been in our lives and will continue to be in them forever, and there are also those people who are in our life now, but will not remain in it, then there are the people who have yet to enter our life. Since our lives are constantly changing so are the people around us. We are unaware of how many people's lives we have affected, but we will never forget those that have affected our lives. It's hard to imagine your best friend right now not knowing you when you are older, but you will make a new best friend and you will always have the memory of your old one. It's difficult to imagine life different from how it is now, being surrounded by different people, but there will always be a group you fit into and people to surround you.

Life can be overwhelming at points, and i'm sure this feeling comes over us all at some point or another. The feeling that you need to escape some place if only for a while. Go somewhere new and different with no worries and all the time in the world to do whatever you want to. Time is a mysterious thing. The more you want it to pass the more it appears to drag on, and the more slowly you wish it to tick by the faster it seems to vanish from your grasp. Time is something we have no control over; it passes whether we want it to or not, at the same constant pace. Being that time cannot be controlled it is easy to become overwhelmed. People go away for peace and quiet; to escape their normal lives and have an adventure; to create new experiences for themselves; but most of all they go away before time runs out. They leave to try and relieve stress from their lives, but you don't have to go away for that, you just need time. We aren't searching for a place to go because in all reality it doesn't matter where we are at our true search is the one for time.

The thought of Spring brings several things to my mind. One of them being transitioning to warmer weather after a cold winter season. Flowers beginning to bloom and the smell of warm rain showers come to my mind. Spring represents a new beginning, starting over.

My life without potatoes swould be horrendous. Potatoes are one of my favorite foods, and having to imagine my life without them is horrific. Potatoes, or any food for that matter, is something that I think about often, but I never pictured my life without a specific food, and therefore, I never knew how much I took it for granted. It is strange to think of a life without something that I have grown used to and been exposed to my entire life, but it is even stranger that I take it for granted.

"Love is Blind." I find this phrase to be true. Im not an expert in this subject, but then again who is when it comes to love. This overwhelming emotion can be hard to find for some and appear rather quickly for others. You can't prepare yourself for it, nor can you see it coming. In this sense it is blind, but not only is love blind, but the effect love has on people sometimes tends to make them blind as well. Once you have obtained love, quite often it takes control of your actions. The simplicity and complexity of it makes it one of the most unique emotions, and somehow one in which people search for in hopes of finding.

Laughter unifies us by being contagious. If I see someone laughing I usually join in for whatever reason. It is something that i enjoy doing as well as something i do often. My favorite mood to be in is one where I am slap happy. When I am in one of these moods, which isn't to often I can't contain myself and I laugh constantly for no reason. I'm not sure why I get into these moods, but I love them because I am out of control, which is unusual for me and everything seems funny. Being in this mood gives me a break from thinking and worrying about things and allows me to just have fun.

What makes a good leader? Some qualities that make a leader are someone who is determined, understanding, able to make smart choices, and honest. All of these characteristics when combined result in a good leader if they are used properly. Being desicive and setting goals are other important factors that a leader needs to have. Determination helps someone be recognized as a good leader because with determination they are able to carry out their ideas and follow through with them. Being understanding and able to make smart decisions allows a leader to have an idea of what the people want and need and what needs to be done to successfully achieve it. A leader can be classified as good, or even great, but in order to do so will need to apply these qualities listed. I'm certain that there are other qualtites that would be excellent ones for a leader to obtain, but these are just a few that can contribute to people benefitting from a good leader.

"Friendship Doubles Joy and Halves Grief." I believe this is true. I take it mean that when you are with your friends you have twice as much fun as you would if you weren't with them. They make you feel better when your sad and comfort you when you need it. My friends keep me on the right track and I'm always open to their advice. They are able to read my moods and make it easy for me to talk to them. My friends will always be there me and they know that I'm here for them as well.
