Seasons

As our lives are a cycle of birth, growth, maturity, and death, so are the seasons, which makes us ask: Does life mirror the seasons, or do seasons mirror life? Seasons is a story about growth, change, and adaptability. It reflects on how the transformation of each year's seasons mirrors our own personal development and growth. Author Martha Conan compares seasons to life in all of its stages; spring is the beginning of growth and nourishment; summer is a balance in every aspect of one’s wellbeing, a time for development, self-importance, and self-identity; autumn is a time to have gratitude and thankfulness, to sit and ponder choices; and winter is a chance to unwind with deep thought and contemplation.

Learning from the past, staying still in the present, and preparing for the future can easily be obtained and rewarded through constant introspection and self-love. By loving ourselves, the world will look a little brighter.
