Seasons change

As each season changes in climate, so do relationships. Although not every relationship is the same, they do follow similar weather patterns in the four seasons.

Love blooms in the spring, like the blossoming of trees and tulips. Summer is about passion, and the heat generated between sweaty bodies that causes steam to rise from their skin. Walking hand-in-hand along leaf-covered paths, and cuddling under warm blankets is essential in autumn. Winter is about hibernating, gaining 15 pounds from eating too much food, having your lover leave you because you’re fat, and wishing it was spring so you could fall in love again.

Out of the four seasons, one element that stands out (for me) is that of romance in autumn.

Lord knows people fall in love left and right, you can make your eyes roll back in your head by yourself, and breaking up results in solitary confinement.

Romance makes all the difference. You can’t have romance by yourself. Kissing and cuddling doesn’t make sense. Candlelit dinners look absurd. And, you can forget about pawing at each other on the bearskin rug in front of the fire. Ain’t. Gonna. Happen.

Romance isn’t a lonely endeavour, and no one wants to be lonely.

So, enjoy autumn, because you aren't going to like winter.

Note: Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the U.S.A.
