Growing up, I always tried to be the perfect child.
Living my life so rigidly filled me with anxiety that I still carry with me today.
I worried that if I let go the whole world would come crashing down and it would be all my fault.
As I grew older I tried to find the pivotal turning point in my life where I went from happy carefree kid to worrisome young adult.
When my plants wither, it feels like a reflection of my own setbacks
Taking care of myself and my plants can be an uphill battle
