Dear autumn,
Today, I am feeling a bit better. Just a bit. I no longer feel like a turtle abandoned on its back, but rather like someone had come along and rolled me over, back onto my feet as if to say, you can do it, Amy. Not 100% quite yet, but I'm getting there.
I figured that I had spent enough time cooped up inside, and that it wasn't making me feel any better, so I managed to get outside today. It was quite nice out, lovely weather. Thanks, autumn.
It's always nice to get out on a nice day, even if you have nothing planed. Just a nice walk around the neighborhood, or even to a local park. It brings joy to my heart. I do wish that I felt better so that I could enjoy the weather a bit more; maybe go for a run, but sadly, I cannot. Still coughing up a storm, and can hardly breath through my nose at all.
So, tea and more rest for me today; maybe watch some YouTube, and some Netflix, and get a bit of writing done in my book today as well.
I've recently gotten the idea for a new book that I'm very exited about, but it seems as though I have started it 20 different times and have still not quite found the right way of approaching the idea. After a while of trying though, I think I've finally gotten it right. That is a wonderful feeling; getting it right.
You see autumn, today, I have been very inspired. Getting outside and forcing myself to be happy, and out there in the world, doing something even if that something is just swinging on the swings at a local playground, has really inspired me to get some work done, despite me being sick in bed.
So I am in the process of recovering; physically and mentally. And autumn, you are making it so much easier to do that.
The nice weather has inspired me not only to work on my book, but to be more active. Living in Texas, your overbearing, stuck up, full-of-himself brother, summer, has taken over, making everyone feel like they can't do anything. Why even bother? Mean old summer's got me beat. But now that you're here, autumn, I can finally go out and run, without feeling like I'm drowning in the heat. Once I recover, I'm going to get in the habit of running every day.
I'm on the journey to recovery. And every journey begins with the first step. Mine just happens to be the step out of my own bed.
Thank you guys so much for checking out my blog! Please leave a comment telling me some things you want to say to autumn. I always love to hear from you guys! If you don't have a google account to comment with, you can always message me on social media!

Letters to autumn
So, pretty recently, one of you guys suggested that I watch Carrie Hope Fletcher on YouTube. So I looked her up, and she is AMAZING! She did this thing on her channel last year called "letters to autumn" Which I thought was absolutely an astounding concept, and wanted to do it this month.
If you have never heard of Carrie Hope Fletcher, I'll link you guys to her letters to autumn videos at the end. :)
So, basically, what I'm going to be doing is every day this month, I am going to write a letter to autumn. Sorry for the late start, I have been sick for a couple of days.
Dear autumn,
Long time no see old friend. It's hard to believe that it's been a whole year since we've last spoken. Oh how I love this time of the year. You bring with you such beautiful sights.
Such wonderful sounds.
The most wonderful smells
Delightful tastes
And the most wonderful feeling of sheer happiness that I lack the words to describe.
But as always, you also come with drastically different weather. Don't get me wrong; I love your weather. The cold air that's not so unbearably cold that I'm shaking, but not so warm that I 'm melting. Just so slightly cold that I can cuddle up in a giant sweater with a nice cup of tea.
But with this drop in the weather usually comes the thing I dread more than anything else; sick days. That's right autumn, today I am sick. Stuck in bed like a helpless turtle stuck on its back.
I can't breath through my nose, and I've ingested so much green tea that it may as well replace my blood in running though my veins. I'm absolutely miserable.
And the worst part is that I'm completely helpless. I feel as though I can manage to do nothing for myself because in any attempt, I will end up laying down in a coughing fit.
Also, it seems such a waste to spend such a beautiful day trapped inside. I'm sorry autumn, for wasting such a lovely day.
I suppose having a cold is a small price to pay for my favorite season, though. And seeing as how practically all of my friends are sick as well, it was only a matter of time before I caught what was going around.
Thank you, autumn, for remembering to come back for another year. See you tomorrow, old friend.

September favorites
Hello everyone!!!! Seeing as I now have some time to just sit and write my blog with no distractions, I figured I would go ahead and do this month's monthly favorites!!! Let's get started!
So the first thing has got to be gravity falls! I have loved gravity falls since the very first episode when it aired 2 years ago, but I have only just recently rekindled my love for it in picking up the most recent season.
PARAMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think this was in last month's monthly favorites, but I don't care, I freaking love this band!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My favorite song by them right now is currently "Brick By Boring Brick." I'm kinda sad though, cause some punk stole my earbuds at school, and now I can't listen to music in school. :(
Fan fictions!!!! My friend is letting me read her Lord of the Rings fan fiction, and it is absolutely amazing!!!!!!!! I'm obsessed. It's making me want to reread LOTR... again. My favorite character, Legolas, is a HUGE part of her fan fiction, and it makes me SO HAPPY!!!!
GLOBAL GOALS!!!! If you haven't heard about the global goals, read this blog post uploaded by my friend. She does an AMAZING job at explaining exactly what it is.
Global Goals!!!!!!!!
This one isn't really a favorite thing as much as it is something that I love about the way I'm choosing to do with my life. I am very happy that thanks to all the support of my friends and family, I am embracing a drastically healthier lifestyle! This may not seem like much of a big deal, but looking back now, I genuinely cannot believe some of the things that I had been putting in my body. If you are passionate about eating healthy, or you would like to know more about it, I would like to recommend an amazing documentary on Netflix called "Fed Up." My friend recommended it to me, and it has definitely helped me realize that I should change the way I eat.
The book that I am writing!!!! (Both of them actually...) I am currently writing 2 different books. One is a realistic fiction that I am writing with my friend, and the other is a fantasy that I am writing all by my lonesome. :) I love them both so much!!!! The characters in both of them are absolutely amazing.
AUTUMN!!!!!!!!!! IT IS OFFICIALLY AUTUMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW I CAN'T EVEN!!

GRAVITY FALLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today, I'm going to do another tag about my current obsession; Gravity falls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (aka the best cartoon ever) Yes, I know I've been doing a lot of tags lately, but what with school and all, I'm having trouble coming up with ideas for blog posts.
1.) How old were you when you started watching the show?
I was 12! Which is absolutely amazing, because Dipper and Mabel were 12 when the show first aired! (Which... I guess they still are 12 seeing as their summer is still going on...) But yeah, Gravity Falls will always have a special place in my heart for that reason. I have loved this show since it first aired, but I have only just recently rekindled my love for the show. :) I've forgotten how amazing it is!
2.) How did you find out about this show?
I suppose I was still watching Disney channel and Disney XD ad this point, so I saw commercials for it and thought it was amazing.
3.) What was the first episode you watched of Gravity falls?
As I said, I've been a fan since the very first episode. :) And it just keeps getting better!
4.) What was your first reaction?
I thought it was kind of cute at first, and thought it was a nice change in cartoon quality from the trash they've been making on Disney and Disney XD.
5.) How did you find out about the codes?
I'm still finding out about some of them as I rewatch episodes, but if I think there may be a hidden code in an episode, I usually google it.
6.) Who is the real villain of Gravity Falls?
BILL!!!!!!!!!!!!! ABSOLUTELY BILL!!!!!
7.) How do you imagine the final episode?
OMG I NEVER WANT THIS SHOW TO END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I guess if it had to end, after Bill fails to destroy the world, HE DIES AND DIPPER AND MABEL GET TO STAY WITH STAN AND FORD FOREVER AND THEY ALL LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER THE END!
8.) What will you do when the show ends?
Cry for a thousand years, and then rewatch all the episodes, crying through each one.
9.) What do you like and hate the most of the fandom?
I love that we are a very creative fandom that tries to find hidden secrets in a fantastic show, but I HATE WHEN PEOPLE SHIP DIPPER AND MABEL. THEY ARE BROTHER AND SISTER. No. Just no.
10.) How many years do you think the Gravity Falls Fandom will last?
FOREVER.
11.) Do you like the term Fallers?
I've never really heard of this term, therefore I have never called myself a Faller. I personally wish that we could come up with a better and more creative name to call our fans, but for now, I guess I like having something to refer to the fans as.

HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!!!
.png)
My favorite holiday is quickly approaching! I will most defiantly post a Halloween blog post later on closer to the holiday, but as of now, I would like to do this quick little Halloween tag that I found!
1.) What is your favorite Halloween movie?
"It's the great pumpkin charily brown" is a family classic that we watch every year! I love my family traditions. :)
2.) On a scale of 1-10, how much do you enjoy Halloween?
2 million!
3.) What is your fondest Halloween memory?
I have tons. One of my favorite memories is my first Halloween that I celebrated with my best friend. (Last year) We were zombies! It was absolutely amazing.
4.) Have you always been a Halloween lover?
Actually, when I was really little, my parents wouldn't let me celebrate it because they thought it was too scary... and it was. Not the monsters, or the dark or anything, it was the sketchy teenagers in our neighborhood.
5.) How do you get into the Halloween spirit?
I set up some decorations, figure out my costume, and run around in halloween stores looking like an idiot. :) Also, and most importantly, PUMPKIN SPICE LATTES!!!!
6.) Favorite Halloween decorations?
Carving pumpkins is amazing, but I like motion sensing decorations to scare the kids that walk past my house.
7.) Favorite Halloween/ fall sent?
You know that piney scent that has like a hint of pumpkin? I absolutely love that smell!
8.) Favorite candy?
I know this is basically straight up sugar which is why I don't eat it much, but candy corn is my weakness!
9.) Vampires or zombies?
Zombies! Bring it on, slow dead guys!
10.) What is your weird/ odd fear?
......I don't know. I'm slightly afraid that my stuffed animals will come to life at night and kill me... That's why they stay on the highest shelf in my room.
11.) Last but not least, do you believe in ghosts?
No.
Thank you guys so much for checking out my blog! Please leave a comment Telling me some things you like about Halloween! I always love to hear from you guys! If you don't have a google account to comment with, you can always message me on social media!

The bookworm tag!!!!
Hey everyone!!!! Time for another tag!!!! Today, I'll be doing the bookworm tag! :)
1.) Do you remember how you developed your love for reading?
When I was really little, every night before I went to sleep, my mom would read me a chapter of one of her favorite books as a child. I remember her reading "The little princess" "secret garden" and "The little house on the prairie."
2.) Where do you usually read?
I like to read in my bed, curled up with a cat, in a comfy sweater, drinking coffee, while it's raining. *sigh* the thought of that makes me genuinely happy.
3.) Do you prefer to read one book at a time or several at once?
I prefer to read one at a time, though I often find myself reading 10 books at once and wondering what happened...
4.) What is your favorite genre?
Oooooohhh... I love all genres, though I love a good fantasy most of all.
5.) Is there any genre that you will not read?
I don't know... I find some biography's, autobiography's, and memoirs to be a bit boring, but then again, some of them are quite amazing!
6.) Do you have a favorite book?
This is the hardest question ever! I don't really have a favorite book...
7.) What is your least favorite book?
I don't really know... For me, if I don't like a book all that much, I read about half way through, and if I still don't like it, I stop reading it all together.
8.) What is the longest book you have ever read?
I genuinely have no idea....
9.) What is the last book you bought?
"The scorch trials." That was over a month ago. I finished it over a month ago. :) I thought it was pretty good.
10.) Do you prefer library books, or buying books?
If I have the money, I prefer to buy my books! Books are a beautiful thing that should be personal to every individual reader! If I get angry at a book, I want to be able to throw it without worrying about breaking it and having to pay for it. If I see a part I love, I want to be able to circle it in pen. I also have a habit of reading in the bath tub, so yeah... library books are not the best way to go for me.
11.) What are you currently reading?
......I may or may not be rereading "city of bones." The mortal instruments is a fantastic series! Even though I have a list of a million other different books I should read, I find myself feeling super nostalgic and wanting to reread one of my favorite book series again.
12.) Where do you buy your books?
Usually half price books or barns and noble.
13.) Do you ever pre-order books?
Not usually... I prefer to have the experience of buying it in a store.
14.) How many books do you buy a month?
I usually end up having to go to the library to get books because I don't have the money.... so not very many.
15.) How do you feel about second hand charity shop books?
I love them! Often times, I find myself with millions of books that I don't read anymore, so it's nice to have a place to give them to. Also, if I'm in need of an older book (because I absolutely love a good classic) I usually go to one of these first.
16.) Do you keep your read and to-be-read books together?
Yeah. My books are not really that organized. Though, I do keep my favorite books that I like to reread on the shelf of my nightstand.
17.) Do you plan to read all the books you own?
This is a goal of mine, yes.
18.) What do you do with books you own that you know won't be re-read?
I either keep them anyway to remind myself of when I read that series, or I'll give it to a friend or something.
19.) Have you ever donated books?
Yup. I usually take them down to half price books or something.
20.) Have you ever been on a book buying ban?
No, I don't think so.
21.) Do you think you own too many books?
I think for a bookworm, I own a very reasonable amount of books.
