I Like Flowers, I Just Don’t Like Receiving Them

I don’t understand why it is common for people (esp. couples) to get each other flowers. Whether it’s for an apology or to welcome your significant other or friend home at the airport, it seems wasteful.

I feel rather than someone wasting their money on something that will only last a few days, they should spend their money wisely on something that can be enjoyed for longer. Even chocolates are better, you can enjoy eating them rather than watching some flowers die on your table. It doesn’t seem romantic.

In my opinion, flowers should be given together with some other gift as an addition, instead of giving just flowers as a gift.

I’m certainly not indifferent to flowers. I don’t grow them, or buy them, but I do stop and look at them whenever I encounter them.

Do you feel the same way? What gift do you like to receive from your significant other?

Oh! And Happy Valentine’s Day ^.^

Escape is Not The Solution

Dear you,

I know that one of the things you love to do is meeting new people. The ones who’ll excite you, disappoint you, scare you a little bit. And when that happens, you choose to run away and search for new people. Thing is, you don’t realize that new people are only new for a day. After that, they’re just people.

Avoiding things can be good. But the problem is that you end up avoiding yourself. avoiding people who love you & you love. You end up avoiding life.

So try to learn to let people in. Get to know them and let them get to know you. Then when you start building a friendship, learn to be honest & understanding, talk to them, and express your feelings. and try to stop the negative thoughts in your mind. Otherwise you’ll end up ‘Friendless’ by pushing everyone away for no obvious reason.

Wish you the best.
