Bio
I bought my first plant in 2014 in a bid to improve my work ethic.
As I stare at it now, two years later, I think ‘yes, maybe I could do something with my life’
I bought this plant in 2014.
In 2016 it’s much bigger and I’m still waiting on that work ethic.
I bought this plant two years ago
When I was 20
I’m 21 now, nearly 22
It really does mean a lot to me
I bought two other plants late 2015
One is a fern and the other has red leaves and I can’t remember the name
Someone else has the same one
I wonder if theirs has grown
The fern looks thirsty but apparently it doesn’t need much water so…
I care about my first plant way more than these new ones
I just took a break from writing about my plants
Is this work?
2017 and the fern died a long time ago
My first plant is thriving and I’m much happier
Still waiting on the work ethic
