Hi Pumpkins!
I didn't really do anything for halloween this year, but instead spent some time on the couch feeling nostalgic.
I've always been more of a christmas girly for many reasons but i always loved dressing up for halloween and spending time with friends. This month has been so crazy for me, I've been booked and busy every single day, and so I was really looking forward to taking this weekend to rest and reset.
However, yesterday (halloween) I felt so sad because I wasn't doing anything. My bf didn't want to do a couples costume with me, and even if he did we wouldn't really have anywhere to go to show it. My friends invited me to the club with them, which isn't superrr my scene and I was fine saying no but then the day of I was getting serious fomo.
I think lately I've just been feeling so out of touch from the world. Sometimes that's ok because.... well, our world is crazy. And I don't mind being set apart from lots of things. And I'm not even the biggest halloween fan. It just would feel nice to be a part of a community again. Ever since I moved away from home I've been feeling so lonely, even when I'm surrounded by people all the time (new post about that coming soon).
Anyways, since I've been feeling nostalgic and a bit sad, here are some of my childhood halloween costumes from deep into my dad's facebook. Him and I aren't in the greatest place right now, and his FB is full of pics of us from when I was younger, so trust me when I say I dug deep for these pics lol.
Enjoy these and I'll try to share what I remember from them. Pls share what you dressed up as/did for this year's halloween or your favorite memory from the holiday! Love u all.
Here's a pic of me from fall 2009. I think this was in our yard and I jumped straight into the pile of leaves my dad had just raked. I don't know if it was this time or another year, but I remember one time I "cannonballed" into a leaf pile in our front yard but landed on my back and got the wind knocked out of me and had a minor panic attack because I couldn't breathe and didn't know what was happening lol. Safe to say that might have been the last time I did that.
This year me and my dad were yo-gabba-gabba characters. i loveeed that show. I think we were very last minute with this and that's why my mom was a witch hahah she was so cute. Her fav color is red so ik she loved this costume. I can sooo vividly remember picking out this costume and trying it on at the spirit halloween store for the first time. I can even smell it, like the plasticky-foamy smell. Lol. And the decorations ooohhhh my goodness I loved this house sooo much and like me and my mom spent so long decorating it was so fun. I miss her.
Now I don't love this pic bc i feel a bit cringe towards it but also that was me as a little girl like hey be nice. My mom actually wore this costume when she was my age, and my grandma made it for her so I was so excited to wear it as well. My grandma made my mom and aunt's costumes their whole lives, I think she made the monkey too along with a frog, raggedy ann doll, and clown costumes. She made more for sure, but those were all ones that my mom saved and I reused. It's really sweet to look back and think about. Love u granny.
