the tulip obsession that ate my life and my ankle
i went from zero to tulip obsession in 0.5 seconds and ended up with an ankle injury and full-body tulip brain
the tulip obsession that ate my life and my ankle
so i wake up this morning and out of nowhere i'm OBSESSED with tulips like they were stashed in my subconscious for years?? just full-on obsessing. felt like i HAD to have ALL the tulips in existence or at least in MY garden. what is going on.
so i'm out there digging in the dirt at 7am like i'm auditioning for a gardening olympics. decided three layers of bulbs was not enough, no i need MORE. went to plant number FOUR and that's when it all went downhill. literally.
tried to do some aggressive staking to support the future tulips. got cocky. decided i could install the third layer of bulbs MYSELF because who needs professional help. turned out i'd underestimated the complexity of botany AND spatial awareness. big mistake.
next thing i know i'm on the ground with ice on my ankle and a new life goal of NOT injuring myself planting flowers. but here's the thing: i'm just laying there, staring at the ceiling, and STILL thinking about tulips. like my brain is fully committed to this delusion.
mood for this post is chill but honestly i should be locked up. who knew botany was a contact sport innit.
