People who take care of plants always talk to them positively and I've heard them say that plants are sensitive to the energy around them. ive never seen anything happen irl, but as they say, faith can move mountains or something. If you believe in something strong enough, it can become true

sometimes they need a little moral support

"How am I ever supposed to take care of myself," I cried to my mom, "when I can't even take care of a plant?!"
I was 15 and my cactus had just died from overwatering. I avoided house plants for years, until I came across a pothos while my mental health was in the gutter. The little thing became everything to me. I propagated it, bought more plants. Whenever dark clouds come rolling into my mind, I lay my plants extra attention. "I take good care of myself, little one," I tell them while watering them, "so I can take better care of you."

Because I can only recommend things I have experienced and this has been one of 2024’s good experiences for me. I’ve been surprised at the actual soothing power of this activity. It’s been nice to be able to work and focus on something that is entirely out of interest for anyone else. A conversation between just me and plants growing, and they’re growing at a pace that feels similar to mine, like really slow. I loved coming back home and sitting outside for 45 minutes just to notice what’s working , what’s not, who’s made progress, who needs what type of attention. I’ve felt very proud of this work and it feels nice to do something that you think is good.

It's not in our hands sometimes but it's not cool to be surrounded by people who don't take anything seriously

Y'all ever write a word and suddenly it looks wrong? Like, the word just looks unusual. Then you cross it out and write it again but it's still the same cause the spelling is right but it looks so wrong! And so you repeat, but it remains the same and at that point you're agitated! What the actual fuck is wrong with me!
And so you just ignore it and continue writing but it still bothers you. You look in the dictionary and the spelling is still the same and the word still looks wrong and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it.

Tl;dr I am just talking about how I was lucky to not grow up as an incel
Growing up I had no role models and so, me getting out of that alt right mysogynist pipeline was because 13 y/o me saw a video about Nirvana. A few years ago I was part of a subreddit where mostly older girls and ladies were and as I would read their comments i realised the many wrong things i was doing everyday which could end up hurting someone if they ever got together with me. A few weeks ago, i saw a reel where a girl was talking about how frustrating it was when guys ignored menial tasks like throwing socks in laundry and I realised, "oh! I do this sometimes" and ever since I saw it, anytime I ignore such things, i immediately remember that reel and all the comments on it and I just do the whole thing because I don't want to be an asshole because of my ignorance which was a result of me growing up in an environment which enabled my shitty behaviour.
I feel like I was lucky in this sense because I inadvertently came across the right places. The creators I grew up with were decent human beings. Not a single youtuber I used to watch growing up ended up being in any controversy. I watched some of them again recently and some are even making videos calling out trash behaviour.
It's also worth noting that back in 2014-15 yt was not full of alpha male shit. Everyone was just chilling and playing Minecraft. The video essays were still as great as they are now. If I was born any later, I am afraid I might've fallen down that pipeline and become a completely irredeemable pos.
