Flowers

Once, I was asked if I liked flowers. Honestly, I didn't know how to answer. I love the way flowers look and sometimes smell. Until recently, I didn't  realize how meaningful flowers are. 
The other day, I gave flowers as a belated birthday gift. I never knew how good giving flowers felt. By giving, it showed me how meaningful flowers are and that they can represent more than just romance.  They are a form of an apology, appreciation, congratulations, self love, romance and whatever meaning you want to give them. 

I thought I didn't like or want to recent flowers, because I thought they were a waste of money and a gift that wasn't useful. Who was I kidding? I was just fooling myself, that's like saying you want to be alone forever, ha, what a joke.  

It just so happens my favorite flowers are in season, lilies. So maybe it's the season for giving, o what, but it's not Christmas. Well, I think every season should be for giving. Giving flowers can be a little intense, but you should show someone you care about them today. A person might not realize you care and that you were thinking about them, what better way then to show it.  If flowers aren't your thing, a hug, a book, music, or dinner would do just fine. Show someone you care today, even if is just the homeless person that sleeps outside your building because everyone can use some love.
