I've always loved being surrounded by plants, spending time in wild places, and exploring parks. Given I like a wandering life, gardening hasn't been something I thought I'd find interesting.
But as I've gotten older, and unlearned many of the restrictive self-imposed rules I made to cope as a kid... I've discovered a love for tending to plants. Granted, it's a couple of indoor plants and a few outdoor succulents, but... I love it all the same.
Having life indoors brings so much joy it's hard to explain...
Often the simplest things in life bring us the most pleasure, right? That's a lesson I'd have to spend my entire life re-learning. Like with yourself, being impatient at a plant for growing too slowly is pointless.
Growth takes time, persistence, care, and understanding.
We're more alike than you might first think.
When I'm older, I'll have a garden. Full of happy plants and people.
