Spring

"Soon the flowers will bloom, grief will depart and happiness will prevail"

Spring is my favorite time of year for many reasons. Cherry blossoms, my birthday, sunny and warm weather, feel good anime's and so much more. Last year, I wrote a short Japanese story based on the season of Spring (this can be found on my previous blog posts). In Japan, cherry blossoms are a symbolic part of spring which is celebrated. The revival of the tree's, through the growth of cherry blossoms, is a symbol of the fragility and beauty of life. In other words, life is beautiful but is also tragically short. I am sure this is a saying that can resonate with a lot of us. Life is temporary. It has its trials, it has its beauty, but they all only last for a specific period of time. The situation we are currently in will not last forever. Our sadness will leave us and happiness will return back to us. Just like the flowers in spring, we too will grow from everything we endure. The change in season represents the ongoing changes of life. From winter, to spring to summer, each season will hold a different chapter.

I hope that during this beautiful
weather of spring, you find healing, you find happiness and more importantly you find yourself.
