@deardarlingdesignstudio: Stay tuned for updates! I’ve realized there’s still so many things I haven’t done just because I’ve never done them! I think to myself “I’m not a person who gardens” so I don’t garden. “I’m not a person who swims” so I still don’t know how to swim. I’ll be 32 next month and I am tired of allowing the cloud of my childhood weigh me down. I want to experience all life has to offer and do all of the things I’ve told myself I don’t deserve to try. Growing up I was “sheltered” but not in the typical protective parent way. I saw a lot of things I shouldn’t see, but I didn’t get the normal childhood experiences. My parents were addicts and we were frequently homeless, hoping from relatives house to relatives house. I never got to have a HOME much less a garden. There’s not a lot of free clean places to swim in Baltimore so I never learned how to swim. I didn’t try a salad until I was 16. There’s so many things I could add to this list. Instead of being sheltered from the things kids shouldn’t see, I was exposed to them and sheltered from having “normal” experiences. As I turn 32 and reflect on my life I want to experience everything the world has to offer! I want to travel, I’ve only been in a plane once. I want to see new things, I want to try new things! What are some things that you all think I should try?? Every year I take photos of other peoples flowers and share them with my art friends as free reference photos to draw from. Drawing flowers is my fave thing, so why haven’t I planted any of my own?? Stay tuned to see how this garden turns out! I am so so excited! #gardening #wildflowers #wildflowerseason #wildflowermeadow #plantingflowers #flowergarden
