What is it about August?

What is it about August that makes so many people feel as though they have to change their entire lives around?
Back to school, maybe?
Summer is ending, maybe?
Or maybe it's like a little mini New Years.
Why do we have to wait for a seasonal change or January 1 to make improvements in our life? Why do we have to wait until some grand moment comes along to make things better?
Why is it that I always start a blog in the month of August, and then stop.
I think it is because I get carried away, with work and with school, or maybe because I really don't think anyone would read this anyway.
I guess we can just keep it real.

I have just moved in with the boyfriend. Wow. What an experience! I keep thinking of that awful Eminem lyric whenever the subject comes up. "I guess that's what happens when a tornado meets a volcano". I know we are good for each other, I just feel like two worlds are clashing into one another and I don't have any room for my stuff. Then I start to read articles about how 85% of couples don't make it if they move in together and yadda yadda yadda. I guess that 56 % don't make it in the long run anyway, and to me that just means we are all emotional idiots.

Ahh..to be the emotional idiot.
When you can mask yourself, and you feel accomplished.
When you can't think straight, when the anxiety sets in, when you feel like everything is falling apart.
Being intelligent should help, but would it really?
Embracing the emotional stupidity that is human will set us free,
Accepting that we are governed by hearts that cannot think.

This makes me hate Bob Dylan.
