"Autumn shows us how beautiful it is to let things go.” ~ Unknown September 22 was the first day of autumn in the Northern Hemisphere.

They slander and critique anyone who doesn't have their viewpoints. They were using a similar profile picture of the account I do follow and that was where I got confused. Here’s what I hopefully learned:
