The Interior Jungle

A little of a different post from me this week. Slowly introducing other elements to the blog just to keep things fresh. As the title suggests, the interior jungle has slowly been coming together within my apartment. 

First of all, far from a jungle, these different plants are small and take little space within my living quarters. However, similar to a jungle, bring with it vibrancy, life and a touch of colour within these concrete, manmade structures in this bustling metropolitan. Chosen for their individual characteristics, these chosen flora have had a home with me for the past couple of months. 

Tragically, the petite cactus has become much more shrivelled and might be on its last leg - giving me the maybe sad realization that I cannot be responsible for the plant that needs such little care. Alas, the slow demise of this plant will just make me try harder for the next cactus that might come along.

I have come to the conclusion that plants - as in any living thing have a strong presence within our days. Seeing them have made small things seem insignificant and makes me appreciate what is around me.

However, I am pretty shit when it comes to taking care of plants. Thankfully, my person is there helping me with them.

Hope you enjoyed this different narrative.
