You can feel autumn in the air - a charged electricity. With each leaf crunching underfoot and the deliberate warmth of a sunray cutting through cooler air, the energy is swirling. We are heading into fall, the season for falling in love.
Why is it that we tend to fall in love in the fall?
To me, the changing season still evokes the anticipation I experienced as a child going back to school. The new mix of classmates begged questions like, who would I be sitting near, and what crushes (new or past) would I encounter? Even though I didn't have a ton of boyfriends in school, reading through my old diaries confirms I was indeed boy-crazy!
Introspection to Connection
There may be more to it than school-aged experiences. When the seasons change it can evoke feelings of nostalgia and introspection. As we are doing a little soul searching and getting to know ourselves, we can also become more receptive to emotional connections.
