It was just the right kind of chilly, and the heels of my feet hurt from walking in my mother’s hand-me-down boots all day. We held hands and walked through the park, on our way to someplace to see something… we just hadn’t decided what it was. My free hand, my right hand, was numb from swinging in the icy wind as we walked. He switched sides, and wrapped both warm hands around that one. Like part of a dance, we continued to switch back and forth for the rest of the night. The ground was layered with crispy yellow leaves that formed a blanket covering the entire park. Each step welcomed a loud crunching noise. It was so soothing we walked in silence, although our synchronized smiles said more than words could anyhow. Leaves like that should be left for decoration I thought, not swept up, bagged and thrown away. You don’t see too many colorful leaves where I’m from, so I delicately picked one up, hoping it could live like that forever on a page in my journal. 
Nikki,
I just discovered your blog, and your writing is so beautiful!
Thank you for sharing all of your talents, and I must say, your song with hubby, Paul McDonald is AMAZING! I just watched the video a couple of days ago! You and Whitney did a great job with directing it!

Dear Nikki,
I just discovered your blog! What can I say? Your writing is mind-blowing. I know the twilight movies and I think you are a very good actress but I had no idea you were such a talented poet. Reading all your texts brought tears into my eyes made me smile at the same time.
Your writing and the photos you take reveal that you are a warm-hearted young woman and that you deeply care for nature and animals. Knowing that there are other young women out there who feel the same makes the world a better place.
Lots of love from Germany!

You should really write a novel. I would definitely buy it if you did. Your very talented and captivating. Can’t wait to see other movies you might be working on. Johnny Depp is my favorite for male and your my favorite Female actress. Your both very versatile!
Wow, you are a really good writer and that sounds very romantic.
I like how you blog about little things that only quiet and delicate people would notice.
Your blog and pictures are so lovely.
I wish you the best with your career and keep blogging!
Nature is catharsis to pensive people. We often spend so much time thinking about the artificial realities we have created that we don’t take time to consider the splendor of what exists without our manipulation. Cell phones, T.V’s, computers and the like allow us to live in a human-centric world. We are comfortable here because it is familiar. Yet, we are comfortable in nature because there is a part of us that remembers. A part that knows that we are but small pieces of a whole. We are not what we have made. That reminder can save our sanity on those days when we think about how horrible the world is becoming. With the continual rise of social media, one can see the apathy and indifference that convenience in communication creates. Every once in a while there are glimpses of hope. In the same way that there is a feeling of completeness when we set the apathetic texts and phone-calls aside to sit at a table with a friend, there is a feeling of completeness in communing with nature. To me, those leaves are mortality. The leaves live. The leaves die. However, we cannot forget that there exists a cycle. Those leaves will decay and nourish the trees that they have fallen from. Eventually new leaves will come. Yet, they do not come without the nourishment of the leaves that have lived and fallen before. In the same way we humans nourish those who follow after. We will live. We will die. We can dance gracefully along the breeze in our descent following the whim of the universe. Or, we can tumble clumsily to the ground, gravitating forward without dwelling on the magnificence that we were here. The choice is ours, but nature is an excellent guide.
Nikki this has notheing to do with ur writeing although it was beautiful. Ive been trying everything to find a way to write u and i just want to thank u. In march 2010 i was raped i was in a comatose state for 2 months i dint talk i dint sleep without screaming my mom had to take care of my kids when my friend told me to read eclipse (i had already seen twilight and new moon. When i read your story. I dint feel alone any more little by little i started getting up and doing things i started talking and getting therepy. I now go to church on a regular basis and im still in counsling it gets hard sometimes still the nightmares come and go but i always read rosalies story and remember that it will be ok. Nikki u playing rosalie saved me from suicide and helped me come to reality and im now happy i love u and thank u so much u and stephanie meyer gave me my life back! THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I think you must bring out you own book , because the way you write a story is amazing I would buy it. If i read your blog its amazing you know how to write and its just amazing take it fom someone who does not realy like to read.
Hello. I am the keke bell thar wrote a poem on this blog a couple weeks ago and I know this is a long shot. I have been told that I am a pretty talented writer. But I need someone from the outside world… someone I don’t know to tell me. If u wuld just take the time to read my poem and comment in it… I would be ever so greatful.
Also to Nikki I am so happy for u and Paul. U looked absolutely astonishing. Luv and best of luck… hope… and blessings from
Keke Bell
If I could have just one season, it would be fall.
Wow! You have such a amazing flow with words! Good luck & Best wishes to you…
This is BEAUTIFUL.
Hi Nikki! I’m a big fan of you from China. You are so great in both acting and writing. Looking forward to your new movie!! Wish someday I could meet you in the street!

Your so inspirational. That’s all i can say, your definitely a rolemodel Nikki.

Hello Nikki … I am your fan here in Brazil, I wish you all best of luck in their trablhos and your life in so great for all of you … kissing-Joshua.
hello Nikki!I am your fan from ukraine, Lugansk city,after the movie twilight I just fell in love with вас.если you can, I would like to know more about you,
Hi nikki,
I was lucky that by chance on one of my trips to barnes and noble you happen to be there at a signing for seveteen magazine and i got a chance to meet you and get a picture…so when I got home I looked up your website and read some of what you have written and wow I just have to say its beautiful. Your very talented.I wish you all the best in everything that you do. Oh and Congrats on your marriage to Paul. You guys look good together and I saw him there on the day of the signing and thought wow thats nice to accompany her while shes working..what a good guy
I wonder, do you read this?
Anyways, I feel the need to point out how refreshing it is to be able so see that someone in the spotlight is real, and also has a brain (and is quite a talented writer!). I really admire you. As a teenager, I see you as so much more than “Rosalie”.
That was beautiful, I swear Nikki I’m a huge fan of yours.
Hey Nikki, i know there is a one in a million chance you’re going to see this, but anyway i just wanted to say thanks for your website, it’s really awesome and your writing is incredable, as you already know from all of the people who wrote on your website. I’m really glad your not one of those celebrities who just like their fans because they buy their prefume or sumthing, that you actually care. And im sure you do, so thanks again for the website is really inspiring to young people. And good luck in the future.
Michelle xxxxxxxxxx
Beautiful blog Nikki. I am so excited that I found out you have a single out with your husband. I purchased it on Amazon! You have a very beautiful voice. I also read in an interview you are writing a novel! I will so buy it if you do! Best of luck to you!
I’m really enjoying reading all the things you’ve written. While I enjoy your acting….I wonder…. Have you ever considered being a writer? Perhaps it’s something to think about playing around with a bit during “down time” on the set, or between roles. You have so much to offer. Don’t limit yourself to one definition.
Much love to you…..

Thank you for everything that you do.! It's truly apperciated.
A Really Big Fan, and Follower. The One and Only,
Melissa
You are a truly talented young woman. I enjoyed reading your blog and will continue to do so. Reading this has taken me and transformed me to that park you were walking through. I love to read but with three children do not always get to, so reading even just one excerpt from your blog has fulfilled that craving for today. I thank you.
Very eloquent. Touching Thank you for continuing to share your talent.
Hi Nikki,
Love your black boots from photos of you and hubby in Rome (coliseum). Who are they by and where can I get a pair?
Wow how touching Nikki xxx and ur camera quality is amazing! Love you as always olivia Reed
as I looked into the eyes of the man I knew I was in love with, I smiled to myself. What had I done to deserve such hapiness? He held my hand delicately, as if it were a peice of glass so fragile, that if u didnt hold with care, it would surely break. As he kissed me softly on my cold lips, a snowflake fell. I had never seen such a beautiful sight until I had experienced this moment. And I had never known true love, until the second I laid my eyes on him. This is something I wrote for u. Hope u enjoy it. Love, keke bell
Hi there Nikki,
I love how you make the leaves sound! I’m HSP, I can appreciate sensitive writing. Thanks for personally writing your blog. It make you seem very REAL. I’ll be reading!
I have read several of your blogs, and each has touched my heart in several different ways and with several different emotions. Your writing and the way you put your words down are breath taking beautiful. Thank you.
That was amazing, you should have it printed, it was that good I liked it a lot. Congratulation on the wedding you too look happy together.
Very eloquently written…I felt like I was there…

Love it.
First, Congratulations on your wedding and you and Paul.
I can imagine this fall day right know in this moment. In Germany where I live, it’s now cold and I think those chilly temperatures will remain for a while. I’m used to it that we haven’t such hot summers(we didn’t have any summer this year, at least I haven’t) here and I was really not in a good mood when I heard that it’s going to be that cold. For me that means we’ll have a long winter..but I remember that I actually like the fall, really I love it! crunchy time! So, amazing! I’ll remind me next time I think about the not so well summer!
Lovely. Your journey of a walk reminds me of some fond memories. Moments like these are sweetly remembered and cherished. I look forward to more.
I wish you and Paul much happiness and blessings now and in the future. Congratulations!
Thank you very much for supporting Autism Speaks. My son was diagnosed when he was three. He was still talking then, by the time he was 4, it stopped. He is eleven now and although speech is always encouraged and some progress has been made, we are always exploring and are open to various avenues of communication for him. Thank you Nikki. God Bless you and Paul in all your endeavors.
Sooo beautiful Nikki!!
So, you’re not only a great actress also you’re an awesome writer! I want you to write a book, an autography or sth!!!!
Btw we want you in Argentina, come and celebrate your honeymoon :p ask to Kristen, she visited my country the last year, it’s a beautiful place.
We love you!
You should come to Maine some fall, there are thousands of leaves, everything from sunshine yellow to flame reds. It’s almost like nature wants to throw all these bright colors at you so you won’t miss them so much when everything is shining and white. We’ve already had our first snow this year though so the colors will go soon this year. Thanks for the wonderful blogs though, its really nice to hear other people’s thoughts so well presented. Congrats to you and Paul and may every day from now on be as great for you both as the day you first fell in love!
You are amazing. Don’t ever change! Much <3 from your Maine fans!
I love this. Thank u so much nikki. It seems like I have been waiting forever for u to write again. But, I know ur a busy woman so u dont have much time on ur hands. Love and peace from the people in Florida! ;D
Dear Nikki, have you ever considered writing a book? When I close my eyes I can imagine everything you wrote about and somehow it makes me feel warm inside. It’s a sign of good writing when one can make you feel, smell and imagnie things just by stating something in one’s writings. I think that if you’re brave enough, you should publish write a book someday. You’re not just a talented actress, but also talented in writing. All the best wishes!
Nice! Unfortunately, I don’t see things that way and only a person once.
I feel exactly the same way about fall leaves. They are nature’s most exquisite art gallery. I am blessed to live in Washington where there are plenty to be found. It’s even more amazing when the day is windy and the leaves flutter around like they can fly.
Nikki wow just wow every time that you write something you leave me so speachless. you have such an amazing way with words. Sometimes if I am having a bad day I will come on here & read if u have wrote something new and it really helps me to feel so much better
Were you in New England? Congrats on your marriage. We love that you are in love.
That is really pretty:)
You should write more, you are such a beautiful writer!
meu Deus isso e tao romantico ! e muito lindo .
felicidade nikke voce merece mil beijos.
Another wonderfully written piece of work by Nikki Reed or should I now say Nikki McDonald.
Congratulations Nikki…to you and Paul!!!! <3
Beautiful! You should really pursue a career in writing.
absolutely beautiful Nikki!! It made me cry…and I couldn’t help but smile
My 7 yr anniversary was a few days ago, and I’m still all lovey-dovey emotional 
Nikki, you just have a way of writing that is absolutely beautiful.
I’m so happy you posted again, it’s been a while.
You looked stunning in that wedding dress, and I wish you and Paul the very best.
Nikki,people always speak such beautiful sentiments when they are truly in love and this most recent post of yours was exactly that,reflective of the precious moments you are making with Paul. I wish you both the best and so many more happy memories ahead. <3
those are the best kinds of days… the moments that brand themselves on your heart… the breaths that hitch and beg to stay in your chest, because even they know the moment is special. i love those days.
Beautiful words. Beautiful moment, I am sure. It is always the small, quiet ones, just the two of you share that mean the most. =)
My husband and I also married in the Autumn. October 20th to be exact. We just celebrated our 10th Anniversary. If there is any wisdom I can impart it’s this, always keep the lines of communication open, honestly, and lovingly. May God bless your marriage!
Your happiness is contagious. I don’t know if hanging out with Stephanie has rubbed off or if you’ve always been a writer but that was beautiful.
Real love is so rare. Tend it like you would a fragile garden and it will always be there for both of you. God bless.
Wow. This is my first time on your blog. I saw your post about it on twitter and decided to checkit out. I’m so glad I did! I had no idea your were such an amazing writer. I’m 15 and a huge twilight fan. You are so beautiful, words can not describe. I wish I as a beautiful and as talentes as you are. I love you Nikki, thank you for sharing. I wish you and Paul a happy, long life together!
Best wishes to you both, may you live long and happy and love forever!!! XOXO Both of you are amazing and beautiful people! Such inspirations and great role models! ♥♥
You are a beautiful person, inside and out. Your very talented and smart and might add, an inspiration. You and Paul deserve each other. Both of you are the most amazing people in the spotlight. The very down to earth, yet amazing couple out there. Best wishes to you both, may your love grow and grow. ♥♥ I am such a big fan to you both, not only because of your talent, but for who you are as people..as a person.. you both are awesome! keep up the good jobs
Oh my god, Nikki, I love you so much. I love how you see the true beauty in things. I love you more than you know, and I love that you share your many many talents with the world. I am so incredibly and insanely happy for you and Paul. You have no idea. I really did cry. Haha. I love you so much.<3

I could really identify-my husband of 37 years and I spent an absolutely beautiful day yesterday, meandering on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia,enjoying each other and the fall colors. I guess the two of you and the two of us kind of represent both ends of the spectrum. thanks again for sharing.

Congratulations on your wedding! You looked gorgeous, Nikki.
amazing, you’re simply amazing
Hello Nikki! I am 11 years old! I really admire you as an actress and as a person and learned alot from the movie thirteen. Especially since my dad has pancreatic cancer, (he says hello) and I have had urges to rebel, I don’t because I think about the lesson you were trying to teach young girls with that movie
You’re very pretty and I wish you and Paul the best! Tell him he was my favorite on American Idol. You probably won’t ever see this, but I love you! Keep being awesome Nikki! I definitely will be rooting for you! <3 You are definitely one of my role models and somebody I look to for advice. <3 I hope to meet you someday Nikki and again wish you the best. Did I mention you are my favorite actress? hehe 
I'll be attending the breaking dawn tour for sure!
