    Autumn will always feel like the new year. It never goes away. New Years feels like an unwanted birthday but September is a time of hope.

    Quick PSA about writing:
    The thing about loving books is that it often goes hand in hand with wanting to try out writing yourself sometimes. The tricky part about this is that because most book lovers have accumulated such a high standard from their consumption, they often haven't put what they've learnt into practise. This leaves you with the awkward situation of being knowledgeable enough to be aware that what you're writing is bad but not being knowledgeable enough to know how to fix it. I've gone through this (still am tbh) and im sure others have too. What you need to remember is that writing is a skill that is honed and crafted over time, not some talent you're born with, much like other art forms. The only way to get better is to try it. And after you've tried it, practise it. It's hard, but that's what makes it worth it.

    I'm 37 and I still look at fall as being a season of renewal! I think the crisp air just energizes me and it's the sign of the fun of summer being over and getting back to longer days indoors, etc. This is when I usually try new things, new skills, settle into better routines.

    Tip for the candle problem: refill them yourself! ✨ I will usually keep the glasses and collect leftover wax from other candles as well, buy some wicks and do my own candles. Also you can use your scent yourself! It's really really easy believe me :)

    • @pettyella6607
      @pettyella6607 10 месяцев назад +7

      just take care, bc if you reheat the glass too much it will crack and make a whole mess (besides being dangerous ofc)

      @ninaklt2682 10 месяцев назад +3

    • @emr2220
      @emr2220 10 месяцев назад

      you can also pour a little bit of hot water into the candle jar to melt the leftover wax out! makes it a lot easier to clean @@ninaklt2682
      and totally seconding refilling them yourself! you can also buy little scentless wax melts that are specifically for candle making (or even just the melts that are for a candle warmer) and add your own scent with essential oils, etc.

    I get fall as a beginning because of the harvest season 🌾🍂 I know a lot of cultures see that as a beginning since harvesting means that the land is bare and ready to start fresh again 😄
    (also a helpful tip with strong scented candles is to bring coffee beans and smell them after each candle - it helps neutralize the smell and keeps your nose from hurting)

    Used candle jar tip! I usually clean them out and use them for storing things like pencils/bookmarks/art supplies, vases, and put small plants in them (keeping the pant in a the plastic pot and just setting it in the pretty jar). To get the wax out, I boil water in my tea kettle and fill the jar up to the brim with boiling water. It melts the left over wax and solidifies on top of the water as it cools (sometimes need to do this twice). Then if you have a wax warmer, you can use the left over wax for that!

    And here in Italy autumn is like a shiny pokémon: there's summer, then abrupt winter, no in-between anymore. Halfway through september and we still hit almost 30°C where I live + lots of humidity all year long.
    Watching vlogs of places where autumn exists and is coming in strong makes me feel at ease, the gray skies really give me hope for a good, cold winter this year, where I may be able to put on my warmest and fanciest clothes and drink a cup of warm tea/chocolate in a cozy blanket :)

    You can use boiling water to get the bottom of the wax out of your candles and you can clean out the glass jars and keep them. You can use the wax that’s left in the very bottom and wax warmers if you have that at all.

    Props to you for doing that speech! Public speaking is absolutely terrifying. I HATED school presentations. Also doesn’t help that I work in a job where I will have to eventually talk/present to clients…😬 but that’s not for a long time but I’m still dreading it. I totally get what you mean about being weirdly calm when doing the actual thing that was scaring you. I think it’s the anticipation and the not knowing that’s sometimes more scary than the actual thing itself.
