“Hope is not optimism, which expects things to turn out well, but something rooted in the conviction that there is good worth working for.”

Plant of the Day
Thursday 10 March 2022
In the meadow the Crocus are being joined by the delicate flowers of Narcissus 'Elka' (daffodil). This small cultivar has upright flowering stems, often more than 1 per bulb, and they appear early in the season but are weather-resistant.

“Although the evening is cold and starless And the rain is raging, I’m still singing my song during this period, Don’t know who’s listening. Though the world is drowned in war and fear, At some point Burning secretly, if no one sees them, The love continues.”
Hermann Hesse

eventually you realize you don’t want to die. you just don’t want to live the life you’re living. and slowly you try to create a life you want to live. just gotta start there.
no one needs to add “sounds fake but ok”, “no”, “well, not me”, “impossible”, etc. to this post. and i’d rather you not.
one day you think: I want to die.
and then you think, very quietly: actually. actually. I think I want a coffee. a nap. a sandwich. a book.
and I want to die turns day by day into I want to go home, I want to walk in the woods, I want to see my friend, I want to sit in the sun
I want a cleaner kitchen
I want a better job
I want to live somewhere else
I want to live
