5 Reasons Why I'm Basically A Succulent

A good way to understand someone is to ask what type of plant they see themselves as and why.

A good way to understand someone is to ask what type of plant they see themselves as and why. Personally, I see myself as a succulent because I need so much care and love to grow properly and even STILL, I might randomly "die" on you and require even MORE love and care than you thought possible of a succulent. In case you wanted to learn a lot about me, here's an important list of reasons why I'm essentially a human succulent.

1. Without enough sunlight, I become sad

A sad succulent is very noticeable and makes you feel like a garbage plant owner. However, when I get a little sad, give me some beautiful sunshine (with proper nutrition) and I'll become a whole new woman...or succulent in this case.

2. When I don't have enough water, it's obvious

I'm extremely unhappy when I'm dehydrated, but also if I drink so much water that I have to pee every ten minutes, I'm super unhappy. I require a very delicate balance of water, much like a succulent.

3. I require love and affirmation

If you don't provide a succulent with enough love and care, it will wither up and look like garbage. I am very similar. I'm a fairly needy friend and I love when people express their feelings towards me (even if it's just a random "I love you" text. It's the little things after all).

4. Once you wrong me, it's over


This one time, I bought a succulent from the Saturday Market and then went on vacation for three weeks and completely forgot about my new plant. When I got home, it was obvious the plant was dying, but I did everything I could (which, mind you, really isn't much), and the plant still died. I wronged this succulent by leaving it alone for three weeks IMMEDIATELY after I bought it, and it never forgave me. I'm very similar (only I won't die, but I WILL ghost you).

5. I'm easygoing

It's okay if you get really busy and don't water a succulent for a couple days. You just have to remember it exists so you're not neglecting it. I might be a needy friend, but I'll understand when life gets insanely busy and you only have time for yourself. But as soon as you completely forget about me or blow me off multiple times, it's OVER. Just like a succulent.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
