Gardening, it is not for lazy.

 


 

Do you have hobby? Hobby is a great to help you avoidng stress and things about life that you do no like. What is your hobby? Mine is gardening, writing and used to, reading. And i guess now watching. Now, I want to talk about gardening. At first I thought gardening is easy, but turn out, it hard, and complicated and complex than I thought it would be. And it cost money to. Now, I am starting to wonder, which is better, just buy the plants or learning to plant it, as gardening, farming, is totally not for the lazy. 

 

Gardening, as I've come to realize, is a hobby that goes beyond just growing plants; it's a journey of patience, understanding, and continuous learning. When I first decided to try my hand at gardening, I assumed it would be a simple and cost-effective way to have beautiful, vibrant plants at home. Little did I know that it would demand much more than just throwing a few seeds into the soil.

One of the first lessons I learned was that gardening requires dedication and patience. Unlike some hobbies, you can't see immediate results. It takes time for seeds to sprout, and even longer for them to grow into fully mature plants. Gardening taught me the value of waiting and appreciating the slow but steady progress that nature offers.

Furthermore, gardening is a complex and intricate art. You need to understand the specific needs of each plant, such as the type of soil, sunlight, and water it requires. I soon found myself buried in gardening books, researching different plant varieties, and seeking advice from experienced gardeners. It was a delightful journey of acquiring knowledge and discovering the intricacies of the natural world.

The financial aspect of gardening also caught me by surprise. Initially, I believed it would be a cost-effective hobby, but I soon realized that investing in quality soil, fertilizers, tools, and pest control methods can add up. Whether it's purchasing pots, organic soil, or specialized gardening equipment, the expenses can accumulate quickly. However, in hindsight, I came to appreciate the value of investing in my garden, as it not only brings aesthetic beauty but also a sense of accomplishment and self-sufficiency.

While I've had my moments of doubt and frustration, I've come to appreciate the beauty of gardening. Seeing a once-barren piece of land transformed into a lush, colorful garden is immensely rewarding. It's not just about the final result; it's about the journey, the connection with nature, and the lessons learned along the way.

Now, the question of whether it's better to buy fully-grown plants or learn to cultivate them is a matter of personal choice. It depends on your goals, your level of commitment, and your passion for the process. For me, the challenges of gardening have made it a fulfilling and meaningful hobby. While it may not be for the lazy, it has taught me valuable life skills, such as patience, resilience, and a deep appreciation for the natural world.

In conclusion, gardening is a hobby that I have come to love, despite its complexities and costs. It has given me a profound sense of satisfaction, connected me with nature, and enriched my life in ways I hadn't anticipated. Whether you choose to buy fully-grown plants or embark on the journey of learning to cultivate them, it's essential to find a hobby that brings you joy, reduces stress, and allows you to escape the rigors of everyday life. Ultimately, the choice of hobby is a deeply personal one, and what matters most is the happiness and fulfillment it brings into your life.

Finding Self-Confidence Through “Stay the Same”

Finding Self-Confidence Through “Stay the Same”     Growing up, music often became a source of comfort and connection, and one song that truly stood out to me was *"Stay the Same"* by Joey McIntyre. Its lyrics about self-acceptance and self-confidence resonated with me in a way that felt both reassuring and empowering. At its heart, *"Stay the Same"* is a reminder that we don’t need to change who we are to be worthy of love and acceptance—a message that was both profound and comforting, especially as a young person navigating self-doubt and the desire to fit in. The opening line, *"Don’t you ever wish you were someone else,"* is like a gentle wake-up call. It’s so easy to fall into the habit of comparing ourselves to others, wishing for qualities we don’t have or feeling inadequate because of some perceived flaw. As a young person, hearing these words felt like a validation that who I was, as I was, was enough. It’s one of those rare reminders that our val...
