Uh oh, it's finally happening! The weather outside that once made you sweat is starting to noticeably cool down and you realize that you might need to bring out a sweater or maybe a flannel. Oh, and what's that floating in your pool? You think it's a pool toy at first glance, but the closer your look, you realize it's a leaf from your tree. You don't want to accept it just yet, but all the signs are pointing to it: summer is ending! It's one of the saddest goodbyes, knowing you'll leave that sense of freedom behind once again. It's hard to put this melancholy feeling into words—but it's an experience shared by many. With that said, we curated a list of quotes that embody just what the end of summer feels like.
There are plenty of inspirational quotes on this list, giving us the pick-me-up we need as we head into the chillier months.
