change in the air

fall is my favorite season. i think it's the change in the weather and my wardrobe that makes it feel more serious. the youthful, happy go lucky summer is past us and now it's time to get down to business.

a change is in the air. and not the obama kind.

nonconformity

at first
we start off innocent and pure
optimistic and good-hearted
expecting the best from all
understanding only good

then
we get mistreated, disappointed
we get cynical, bitter
we expect evil from others
purity becomes hard to find

and finally
if we're not careful
we become one of them

long-lasting

there's something special about consistency, quality, and durability. not just with things, but with men.
