the days are getting shorter, and soon you'd be home

south germany didnt have much of a summer, so i keep thinking that summer is yet to come, hoping, wishing. then all of a sudden i realise the days are getting shorter, i cant believe its dark at 7:30pm, just a couple of days ago it seems the sun set at 9:30pm. its also undeniably getting colder, rather depressing, despite my pulchritudinous princess coat! (hurrah! for generous 20th. birthday gifts, haha) it seems unbelievable that i've already had one entire month of holidays, august was in itself, never one of my favourite months but now that its september.... all in all, time has been kind. september brings promises of concerts and the richness of gold, coffee with new friends moving to town, the welcoming embrace of letting go, and with that, new sparkles that might lead to a lightness in the step.
