    I had a friend once who told me that he really thinks the difference between people who are “good with plants” and people who aren’t is that the former just keeps trying, they don’t give up when they lose one, they accept that happens sometimes.
    It’s a really beautiful thought but I would be totally lying if I said I wasn’t getting kinda discouraged lol

      I just have issues with getting down about other things and then being distracted. Then all the sudden things I was growing are all over the place, or tomatoes plants are laying over, cucumber, squash w.e plants are now crossed all over any potential path I may have had and I’m just like fuck it. It’ll grow like that and I’ll just deal with it as is

      It’s the same with everything else. If your drawings looks shit, keep working on them until they don’t. If you can’t play a song on your instrument, keep practicing it. If you are having problem communicating with people, try new people and/or say something else.

        I know some people take this too far… Their children keep coming out failures so they keep making more.

        Oh no, but there are always gonna be phases where you hate your art no matter how good you get

        Eep, I guess it really is like everything else!

      Keep trying and find what survives. I am at a stage where I am starting to identify things not worth bothering with and have a few that do really well.

      Expanding to vegetables this year, had less success than I would like but hopefully at least a few of them are good.
