Life as an October Girl

Life as an October Girl

I was born in June but my heart belongs to October. Absolutely an October Girl!

There's something about being an October girl that has always felt a little magical to me. Maybe it's the way the air turns crisp and the world softens into shades of amber and rust, or it's the way October always feels like a season of change and reflection.

I've always felt caught between warmth and mystery. I love the cozy things, sweaters, blankets, the comfort of home, but I also crave the wild side of life, the parts that feels a little unpredictable, like the October wind. That's part of who I am: a mix of steady and storm.

Being an October girl means I don't shy away from transformation. I've walked through challenges and changes, but I've learned to rise with grace, sometimes messy, but always stronger. I've learned to hold both softness and fire inside me, in a delicate balance, and to know when the world needs one more than the other.

Halloween has always been my favorite. The thrill of costumes, the mystery in the air, the way even the moon shines a little brighter at the end of October, it all speaks to me. As a kid, I lived for the nights of running door-to-door, pillowcase in hand, my heart racing with excitement. As an adult, I still find joy in the pumpkins on the porches, the haunted houses, and the playful sense that for one night, we all get to be whoever we want to be.

That's part of why I love being an October girl, I'm equal parts cozy and mysterious. I love the warmth of a candle flickering in the window, but I also love the chill of a spooky story told in the dark. October girls get to carry both: the soft beauty of autumn and the spark of Halloween magic.

Every year, this month reminds me of who I am. A little bit of light, a little bit of shadow, and always a believer in the magic that lingers in the air.

So here's to all of you who are October girls at heart, love fiercely, laugh loudly, howl at the full moon and never stop chasing the glow of a jack-o-lantern on a chilly autumn night.

Happy October - Happy Halloween

And

Fall on Y'all!
