“O, how this spring of love resembleth the uncertain glory of an April day!” - William Shakespeare
The sweetness of spring: unexpected rainy days full of churning skies and rushing streams, excitement filling hearts when flora begins to bud. Spring is the eternal sign of life, love, and hope. It is full of beauty, and in that beauty, there is uncertainty. Literature often illustrates springtime as the universal symbol for youth. Much like adolescence, spring is unpredictable. Will the windows you wake next to show sunshine or rainclouds? Will life slowly bloom over the next three months, or will everything burst into color in the last week of May? Though unexpected change is often times portrayed as negative, it truly is beautiful. Uncertainty brings opportunity. It provides personal growth, self discoveries, and new beginnings. Although teenage years feel like a confusing whirlwind of decisions and emotions, they are full of the beautiful idea of not knowing what is coming next. Embrace the springtime of life, appreciate
yourself and your surroundings, and bloom.
