The title of this post is borrowed from a song I LOVE: Flowers by Miley Cyrus
I love flowers… a lot. So besides buying them, I also paint them sometimes. In general, I love looking at beautiful things, and I love all kinds of flowers. I used to think that if I had all the money in the world, I would be very happy practicing to become a chef or a flower arrangement artist. Flowers alone are already gorgeous, but they become even more beautiful when you put them together gracefully.
When I was in my 20s, one of my very good friends in Vietnam was dating (??? hahaha) — or at least had a very good relationship with — a flower shop owner. He made amazing bouquets, really, really beautiful and HUGE. So, of course, on my birthday I often requested flowers.
I still remember my colleagues seeing me every year with that huge bouquet, almost half my body size. They always thought it was from a secret admirer, without knowing that my friend had arranged it for me.
And if we travel even further back in time, when I was little, my grandpa had a small flower fence that he cared for a lot. It had only native or local flowers and plants, but he really treasured them. I guess that’s where I got my love of flowers from, too. They smelled good too!
When I moved to Germany, I found more varieties of flowers and, of course, more expensive ones too. But I almost never prioritize saving money over getting flowers, because I believe that if I can happily buy flowers for myself, I can do anything in the world hehehe.
So yes, fortunately, I can buy myself flowers 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
