I feel it in the air the summer’s out of reach

I couldn't sleep last night or should i say this morning. I found myself staring out my window at 2 a.m. I looked at the world while everyone was asleep. Everything seemed so perfect. The stars were bright and scattered across the dark sky. I smelled the freshness of the air. The crickets were speaking to one another and it was the perfect soundtrack to all of my thoughts. It seems almost impossible that at that moment while i was thinking how much beauty there was in the world, there was someone or something trying to tell me otherwise. At that moment, someone was being beaten by someone they think loves them, someone was lost and just trying to be found, at that moment someone was crying and hurting themselves just to take the pain away. Someone was being born while someone else has died. It seems so unfair that they can't look upt to the sky and see the same stars that i see and realize that there is hope. You don't always have to hurt. You don't always have to be alone.

There is a quote that i found and it kind of goes with what i was thinking.

"Right now...Somebody is very proud of you. Somebody is thinking of you. Somebody is caring about you. Somebody misses you. Somebody wants to talk to you. Somebody wants to be with you. Somebody hopes you aren't in trouble. Somebody is thankful for the support you have provided. Somebody wants to hold your hand. Somebody hopes everything turns out all right. Somebody wants you to be happy. Somebody wants you to find him/her. Somebody is celebrating your successes. Somebody wants to give you a gift. Somebody thinks that you ARE a gift. Somebody hopes you're not too cold, or too hot. Somebody wants to hug you. Somebody loves you. Somebody admires your strength. Somebody is thinking of you and smiling. Somebody wants to be your shoulder to cry on. Somebody wants to go out with you and have a lot of fun. Somebody thinks the world of you. Somebody wants to protect you. Somebody would do anything for you. Somebody wants to be forgiven. Somebody remembers you and wishes that you were there. Somebody is praising God for you. Somebody needs to know that your love is unconditional. Somebody values your advice. Somebody wants to tell you how much they care. Somebody wants to share their dreams with you. Somebody wants to hold you in their arms. Somebody wants YOU to hold them in your arms. Somebody treasures your spirit. Somebody wishes they could STOP time because of you. Somebody praises God for your friendship and love. Somebody can't wait to see you. Somebody loves you for who you are. Somebody loves the way you make them feel. Somebody wants you to know they are there for you. Somebody's glad that you're his/her friend. Somebody wants to be your friend. Somebody stayed up all night thinking about you. Somebody is alive because of you. Somebody is wishing that you noticed him/her. Somebody wants to get to know you better. Somebody wants to be near you. Somebody has faith in you. Somebody trusts you. Somebody needs you to send them this letter. Somebody needs your support. Somebody needs you to have faith in them. Somebody will cry when they read this. Somebody needs you to let them be your friend. Somebody hears a song that reminds them of you."

If only more people in this world would read this quote and believed it. If only more people would look up at the stars each night and be aware that even though they are small compared to how big this world is, they still matter. Maybe after that, they wouldn't feel so lost or alone. Maybe there would be less pain and more hope in the world.

And it was that perfect moment that made me have this thought. Almost too perfect it seemed. Then a noisy car passed and it seemed like the perfect moment had vanished. I guess that's proof that nothing lasts forever. No matter how perfect it may be. It can all be gone with a blink of an eye. So, we shouldn't take anything for granted.

In a few moments, Summer will gracefully leave us and Autumn will be here. I couldn't be more happier if i tried. I am so looking forward to this season. Like i've said many times, it's my favorite and i wish it would stay forever. It's when the air isn't too cold or too hot and it's fresh and crisp. The leaves change their color as if someone went up to them and painted them by hand. They fall to the ground one by one so delicately and even though they're dead, they cover the ground so perfectly and when you step on them you hear that crunch sound. That's like music to my ears. The smell of burning leaves always puts me in a good mood and it reminds me of being a little girl again. Fall is the most beautiful season as it's the season of change. It's just wonderful and it makes me feel alive. However, along with fall comes change. Something i'm trying to get used to. Fall is the season of changes. People go back to school changed due to their summer experiences just like the leaves change their color because they no longer have the right amount of chlorophyll. But not only do the seasons and people change but so does expectations, love and friendship. No matter how much faith you have in something or someone, sometimes something big or small happens that makes you question what you thought about it or them before and it helps you define what you really believe in. Life never stays the same. It's constantly full of changes whether we like it or not. That's what keeps it interesting and challenging. Because without change, what kind of life would this be?
