Today was so cold! God, it was like summer one day, then, without any preparation, it was FALL! But not like the warm kind of fall. The really cold kind. But, at least it looks hella pretty. I wouldn’t go as far to call it beautiful, but it is quite nice to look at. The leaves are just starting to fall off of the trees. And today when I got home, I looked up for probably the first time. And you know what was up in my tree? A plastic grocery bag. I had never even noticed that it was up there. Maybe it was because it was hidden by leaves. Or maybe it was because I had never just taken the time to look up towards the sky. Well, like I said, fall is fairly pretty, but you always hear people making a huge deal about how gorgeous it’s supposed to be, but to me it’s like eh. But this plastic bag, I can’t even explain it, I think it’s beautiful. There is something about it that is just awe inspiring, I can’t quite explain why though, maybe because it’s just out of the ordinary. But I had never noticed it until today. Maybe because leaves that were supposed to be gorgeous had been hiding it, or because I never looked for it. Lets relate this to life. There are so many things that are supposed to be gorgeous out there. The world SCREAMS at us that they are beautiful, but if you look past those “beautiful” things, you can always find things that are even better in a unique special way. In my opinion, these things are even more pleasing to the eye. But some people, like I had, never chose to try to look past the leaves of autumn, or the “beautiful” things. Instead they were content with just seeing the everyday things that they can see anywhere. I don’t know if that even makes sense, but it does to me. If you choose to take any message from this though, it should be to look past what we are told is supposed to be beautiful and look for what we AREN’T told to admire. Because it is that way that we are able to find the truly amazing things. It is these things that we aren’t told to like, but we like anyways that are truly beautiful and it makes them SO much more beautiful than the mundane things that we are supposed to find lovely. SO much more beautiful that way. So Fall, Autumn, you can go shove that up your ass, you aren’t beautiful to me anymore. That “plain” plastic bag has so much more beauty than you’ll ever be able to have, no matter how much you try with all of those leaves falling. But that bag blowing in the wind, without even trying, has caught my eye.

Now THAT is beautiful. In THAT I find strength. I don’t know about you, and honestly I don’t care what you might say. Because to me, THAT is something that catches my eye. And my eyes don’t want to leave it. XXXXXX
