"You don’t have to bloom every day. Some days, it's enough just to reach toward the light."
🌸 Context
There are days where I feel like I’m failing if I don’t finish some code, push a branch, or cross something off my dev to-do list.
But then I look at Melissa’s plants — and more importantly, how she treats them.
She never gets mad if one droops. She just checks the soil, rotates the pot, whispers to it (yes, she’s that girl), and gives it time.
It made me think… maybe we need to treat ourselves like that too.
🌿 The Dev Parallel
| Plants | Dev Life |
|---|---|
| Some grow fast, some slow | Every developer has their pace |
| Low light isn’t failure | You’re not “lazy,” you're recharging |
| Pruning encourages growth | Removing tasks makes room to focus |
| Soil matters | So does your environment |
I’ve been trying to “bloom” every single day. But Melissa? She shows me how to just exist and still be worthy of care.
💬 Final Thoughts
Melissa doesn’t write code, but she rewrites the way I see myself.
Sometimes, all you need is someone who believes you're growing — even when you can’t see it yet.
