I didn’t grow up hard, but I didn’t grow up easy either. I wasn’t always face to face with chores, I didn’t grow up on a farm, but I grew up knowing that if I want things I have to work for them. My dad loves freedom but when it comes to Summer he makes sure we work for it. I grew up surrounded by flowers, of all kinds. My dad has a major green thumb, his work is related to flower delivery. He created the backyard. Imagine it being a flat backyard, but now it’s a jungle- with 2 levels. I do weed every summer, in the heat, but it’s worth it to make the backyard full of gorgeous flowers stay alive. flowers is my happy word. they make me happy.
