Allow Yourself To Be Loved

The Grass Is Greener Where You Water It

I make an everyday effort to water the 15-dollar plant to encourage it to grow and bloom. It does not really do anything it just sits on the window ceil.

I went to the store to get some plant booster again, to help my little plant grow some more. I get excited every time a new leaf grows or when it begins to flower.

I put in effort into this little plant but, not to myself. I know I am capable of suppling needs and love to this plant but, I can never justify it for myself.

When did my love for myself drop? I can’t even remember if I ate today but I know for sure the little green plant did.

It is time to start putting yourself first. Your needs, the things that make you feel good, the things that encourage you to blossom. You are worthy of these things. get excited to watch yourself blossom.

The grass is never greener on the other side it is greener where you water it.
