Day 40 - Wallflower


Dandelions are often correlated with weeds--unwanted and unappreciated. Sure, most people see them as an eyesore that destroys a beautiful, cleanly cut lawn. Sure, they could ruin your grass and spread like wild fires. But today, after staring at the lawn for quite some time, especially this patch of dandelions, I realized that they faced much adversity to grow and flourish wherever they are. As a result, the seeds must travel great distances and overcome environmental challenges to establish its roots in unfavorable terrain to survive. Even once they settled in, they are still nothing but a wallflower, different from the rest of the other conformists, and yet the most intriguing.
