it isn’t, not anymore
“That’s when I finally got it. I finally understood. It wasn’t the thought that counted. It was the actual execution that mattered, the showing up for somebody. The intent behind it wasn’t enough.

i call them roses
two springs ago, when i first saw these flowers, i immediately commented “how beautiful roses they are!”. but when i went closer, i realized there aren’t thorns.
