Plants compare 2 U

I have come to the conclusion we would treat each other better if we had to grow someone from seed. I'm not talking wombs and umbilical chords. After all, there are fully functional adults out there that were born as crack babies. This whole motherhood thing has huge glitches in it. As I was watering my plants today, picking off their dead leaves, thanking them for being, well, them while telling them how pretty they are, how proud I am of them for staying green and alive (I am that chick that talks to her plants, yes) I realized I don't treat anyone half as decent as I treat my plants. No really. Now don't get me wrong here, I'm not a total asshole. Not all the time anyway. But I have this little warm, patient side to me that only my plants see. I am not trying to say I want people to see this side of me, I'm just trying to get my point across.

This stemmed from Nothing Compares 2 U. I heard that song the other day. I like that song, I always have. I was in one of those internally dissect everything I see and hear into teeny pieces and form a theory moods when it started playing. I want to feel bad for her but from minute one she's being all obsessive and acting like a lunatic. She states the obvious and then goes to the doctor (even she knows she's acting crazy) who instead of handing her a bunch of valium and telling her to chill out, he tells her to have fun. She needs a new doctor. Fast. I don't even know a doctor that let's you walk away empty handed these days. Seriously. And I mean COME ON! Did she ever miss all this incredible stuff about her wonderful SO while they were there or only once they signed her off? If it was post-signing off she deserves what she got. You know, for all this realization that living together was hard and that she did something wrong, she still wants more. Whoa, I am way off track here... I'll get to my point.

I'm going to assume she gave as much care to those flowers out back (you know, the ones that died when their caretaker went away?) as she did to the relationship. Maybe all her partnership needed was some emotional "water" you know? How hard is that? I would have left her oblivious selfish self-centered ass too. As much as I am not one to talk unless it's in reference to being unmindful. Ha.

Most relationships simply need more patience and understanding, a clear view of what is expected (not to mention realistic expectations), a decent environment and some "emotional" watering. In so many words a plant doesn't grow to appease your ego.
