I do not like change and that's why I hate the month of August. I've always said I do, though, that I'm comfortable with change. In my head, I believe myself to be a lot more spontaneous than I really am, you see. Instead, I eat at the same restaurants all the time, and I eat the same foods at these same restaurants, too. I hate software updates. That's why I never have the new emojis. I don't want new wine glasses, or a dishwasher, or new underwear either. I am resistant to technology. I stay in relationships way past their expiration date, I'm a hoarder, and I sell vintage clothes for crying out loud. 

This is all news to me, but it's almost August and I've once again slipped into my end-of-the-summer-slump. August is when my lease ends. It's when my birthday is. It's when the beach starts feeling chilly at 5 o'clock again. August is the beginning of a new school year, when the change of season starts creeping up, and when I'm eligible for a new phone (biyearly). I sulk as I put my shorts away into storage and bemoan the soon-to-be end of peach season. Everything changes in August, and it's sending me into a tailspin. 

I suppose what makes me uncomfortable about August is the marker of time -- the multiple and grandiose reminders (plural) that another year has gone by, or two in the case of my phone! It forces reflection on my part, and reflecting makes me want to throw up; I don't fucking wanna throw up. You see my reluctance now? 

My fear of change clearly affects this business, too. I never want to let go of the clothes I accumulate because what if one day I want them back? The thought of it alone shakes me to my very core. So I keep this, that, and all of this other stuff, too. This top is one of those "thats" that I've held on to for too long, but it's almost August and I'm trying to get my stomach into shape.
