Unexpected wisdom from instrumental music and purple giraffes

I'll keep this short and sweet (just like finals week!!).

As I sit here in the library, writing the eleventh page of my paper, I am listening to a random instrumental music playlist on Spotify. A moment ago, I glanced down to look at the song title (I'm not really sure why I did this, because I haven't recognized any of these chill instrumentals so far), and the song was titled What You Love You Must Love Now. Regardless of the fact that the song didn't have words, the album art was strange (it consisted of an animated drawing of purple giraffes and some odd snake monster creature), and I'd never heard it before, the title stuck out to me.

What You Love You Must Love Now. 

And as I pondered over it for several minutes, I was like, "hey, that's really true." This moment is all that we're given and whatever we love, we have to love now while we still have the opportunity, before time runs out and we miss out on the opportunity. Even on the mundane Mondays, in the midst of the hectic pace of life, or when you think you're too busy studying or working or just being busy, take the time to love what you love, and to love WHO you love. Because love is the GREATEST, and what better time to love than now?

Happy Monday, y'all... enjoy the now.
