Just a Little Melancholy

 As the night draws closer to morning, I had this feeling of sadness sort of come over me in a momentary wave as I realize October is heading towards its close. I remember this feeling of exhilaration wash over me back on September 30th as October was on the horizon, just ready for the month to begin with great anticipation. "The Blair Witch Project" (1999) was the first film, I believe. That was such the right choice I think. It was right before I went on a weekend getaway to a cabin with my family. There was even a campfire and smores, ghost stories and roasted marshmallows. It was just a reminder of how life outside of what 2020 has dished out can be worthwhile. It was a respite. I needed this October badly, if just for my mental state. As the election approaches and whatever the results are, as most of us expect total chaos either way, I am glad I've had October as a hug around the neck because what is coming I dread. On October 31st, I will not look forward to November, so I guess I am realizing that this wonderful month is already half way over. I wish it was still the first week.
