Like many holidays, Halloween changes when you’re an adult. As a kid it’s about candy, as an older kid it’s about partying, and as an adult it’s…just another day.

I don’t have kids of my own, so I haven’t restarted the cycle yet. But I always feel something strange on this night, as if the night is somehow more alive.

“Scary” was never the word for me with Halloween, it was always “spooky.” Tonight’s a night to steady and hold through, as we are all capable.
