Stop Apologizing!

Somehow my first two weeks with Invisalign are already up. I have no idea if I've done it correctly; I put my 2nd trays on about 5 minutes ago, and they aren't fitting onto one of my back teeth very well. I'm trying not to freak out, especially considering I try to take the 22 hours a day rule very seriously. By the time this goes up I will soon be calling my orthodontist to make sure. Yikes! 

They do feel really tight; I had already forgotten how much tighter they could get since my first trays started to feel loose a couple days ago. Since writing that sentence 10 minutes ago I have googled whether this is normal and haven't found anything too helpful. AGH. I can't wait to knowwwwwwww.

Anyway, that is not really what this week's post is about.

Fall is coming! Colorful leaves, zero humidity, spooky ghosts, my bday, and wearing ALL the cardigans, fuck yeah! So many people agree that it's basically the best time of year, along with Christmas of course.

But with fall comes the millions of Facebook posts about the season. "Hoodies. Bonfires. Other things that aren't actually exclusive to one season."

Does no one else have bad hair days year-round?

But above all, I see one thing in particular.

Endless apologies for loving fall so much! What?!

Sure, I guess it did start with a bunch of whiny 16 year old boys complaining that girls loved pumpkin spice too much to date them or whatever. But now it's just this weird thing that happens a lot.

Literally every day since September 1st I have seen some sort of Facebook post saying something like, "I'm sorry but I just love pumpkin spice!! It's delicious!" Almost as if to say, "I'm no basic bitch; it's just a good flavor! I'm not like those other girls who also think it's a good flavor! Ugg boots, bleh!"

Embrace your love for this amazing season! You don't have to feel bad about it. We all suffered through hot days with high humidity and sunburns; we deserve some crunchy leaves and cute sweaters, damn it!

It's okay to like the thing that everyone else likes. The Starbucks employee doesn't go home to their family and talk about how you ordered a pumpkin spice latte this morning. No one actually minds if you love all things Fall. Wrap yourself up in some dead leaves and drink 100 lattes; I'm telling you it's alright!

I'm guilty of this behavior too, even if it's not in direct relation to fall. I feel bad for loving Pretty Little Liars as much as I do! Well, not bad, but I definitely grimace along with whoever has to hear me talking about it.

thx prettylittleliars.com! I actually laughed when i googled this

Enough is enough! Sure, I do love quite a few garbage TV shows, but in the end, who cares what people think about it? Same goes with pretty much everything in life. Stop letting those Facebook haters who don't know you in real life keep you from loving what you love. 

Fuck you, Batman!

That's all I really have for you. I can't say I'll be purchasing any pumpkin spice lattes any time soon, but only because I think pumpkin tastes like shit. Get outside on that chilly morning and drink your damn latte.
