"Love Yourz: Autumn's Interlude"

autumn is such a deceptive season - everything is at the peak of its beauty even though everything is about to die.

the beauty in autumn lies in the way it epitomizes change. in the way it teaches us to slow down.

the changes in my life lately have felt a lot like autumn. awkward. untimely. strangely beautiful.

in the 4th episode of 5 Loaves and 2 Fish, there will be no talking. i couldn't find a way to materialise my feelings and thoughts into words so instead i'll let the music do the talking.

i've recently been reminded of J Cole's "Love Yourz" as i have been reflecting on the changes in my own life. on many days i've wished my life could be different. i've wished to be in a different place, to be surrounded by different people, maybe even burdened by different problems.

but for everything there is a season. everything is working out at its ordained pace. as this realisation dawned upon me more and more, i started becoming more present. i started creating small pockets of happiness for myself, doing thing more of the things i enjoy and spending time with the people i love, instead of drooling over this ideal life in some distant place or time. there really is no such thing as a life that's better than yours. so love yourz.

i made a playlist titled Autumn's Interlude on my Spotify that pretty much feels like what this month's episode should be. enjoy
