My favorite month has to be October. The air finally smells like woodsmoke and wet leaves, the light turns that perfect golden slant, and everything feels like the world is giving you permission to slow down. Pumpkin becomes an acceptable flavor for literally everything, horror movies are suddenly “seasonal content,” and I get to wear sweaters without sweating. October is the month that reminds me creativity thrives in chill—both temperature and vibe.
