If I bought a succulent...

Hello SUCCAs! For weeks now I have been blogging about succulents. I have expressed over and over again about my positive and negative feelings of a non-existent succulent. Is that going to change on this week’s blog? No and I am deeply sorry, I know it SUCCs. This week, many thoughts have ran through my mind about how this plant could change my life. I asked myself, “What would happen if I bought a succulent?” Would I like it? Would I love it? Would my entire perspective change on these ridiculously popular plants? Will my blogs change for the better? Do you see how all of these are legitimate questions SUCCAs?

If I bought a succulent, would it boost myself esteem? Would taking care of a plant make me feel more peace in my life? Who knows, maybe I will buy a succulent and then my productivity improves tremendously. Perhaps I will get a sense of compassion and realize that I am in charge of caring for another living thing. Knowing that I would be the reason that one plant gets to live a healthy and happy life could change my life forever. I guess I’ll never know until I truly try. I would like to share a quick story with you all about my latest interaction with succulents. At Ball State University there was an event called ‘Late Nite’, it’s just a fun party on Saturday nights to help distress the hardworking college kids. It just so happened that last week they were handing out free miniature succulents. Yes, FREE and MINI. Even though they were right in front of my very eyes, I politely denied the offer. Many other people have told me that I should think about investing in one, but I still just can’t seem to do it.

If I went to the store tonight and purchased a succulent from Home Depot, would my life dramatically change? Truth is, I’m hesitant on buying one. I know that even though it requires less work than most, I have such a busy life that I don’t know if I could make this plant live past 2 months. If I bought a succulent, I would either over water it or underwater it, just because I don’t have a true passion for plants. Don’t get me wrong, I know that having plants in this world is a true blessing and they make the circle of life keep on spinning, but I would rather not have to worry about caring for another’s life. It is way too much pressure.
