Plant of the Day

The Taraxacum officinale (dandelion) that was posted a few days ago was so popular I thought I’d share this lovely set of seed 'clocks' seen today on a coastal walk. Common dandelions grow in all kinds of grasslands in Orkney from lawns to roadside verges, pastures to traditional meadows.

She is 10, but do you know she likes to stay in her head? She is used to disappointment, needs care, overthinks a lot, needs constant reassurance, relies on her writings and books to keep her sane, is possessive, loves way too hard, and shuts down when anyone tries to talk to her about her feelings. She distances herself when she feels like an option; she hurts herself. She is 10, but do you know that?

You are gone, no longer mine, A distant echo in the corridors of time. I lost you… and in that endless ache, I lost myself—a soul adrift, opaque. In trying to accept, I came undone, A fading shadow, chasing the sun. Now, I stand, yet I am no more, Not who I was, not like before.
Unconditional love isn't a free pass to hurt me.
