Bloom

Bloom

" Look around you with your one tiny eye, little rosebud. Tell me what do you see?

Oh, you see a vibrant splash of colours? Beautifully curled petals with honey bees sucking the nectar from them? Spiky thorns warning off intruders who come to pluck these exquisite flowers? A large, endless patch filled with roses of all different sizes and hues? 

Do you feel lost, little rosebud? 

Don't let those other roses belittle you. Don't ever think that you're going to be like them. Because you're not. See that rose over there? It bloomed in a twisted way but does that make it any less of a rose? See that black rose over there? It never wanted to adapt with the usual red, orange or yellow roses but it always stood out. Don't be so scared about what others think about you, little rosebud. You're never going to live up to their expectations.

Because you're going to bloom into the rose they never imagined you to become. "
