Seasons.
.
The physical manifestation of the passing of time.
.
We experience (for the most part) the seasons with the weather...
.
The crisp mornings and vibrant leafs that gather on the ground in fall, the sweet smell and absolute silence of the air that comes with the first snowfall in winter, the yellow daffodil that pops up through the snow blanketed ground in spring, and the electric breeze that billows gusty winds of a thunderstorm in summer.
.
But what about the seasons of life?
.
Child-like wonder, middle-school- like confusion, high-school-like false confidence, college- like ambition, post-grad-like identity search, and on and on...
.
With so many of these seasons, an old part of us has to fade away in order for a new growth to emerge
.
We are constantly growing. Perhaps not at the level of a "season" but in micro-moments. Choices that push us out of our comfort zone, decisions that leave us feeling frightened, opportunities where we chose to speak up. In those moments, those are the ones where we learn to no longer let the "what ifs" whisper sweet toxic familiarity in our minds ear.
.
Those are the moments we change. Those are the moments where we as humans move from fall to winter or spring to summer.
