In the past, I didn't really care about flowers. For me, they were just garden dwellers who grew quietly, not bothering anyone. Until one day, I realized there was one flower that was always everywhere: the purple paper flower.
Seriously, this flower is like a social creature that can't stay still. On the neighbor's fence, on the side of the road, in front of a shop, even at a friend's house who said "can't plant anything" but for some reason the purple paper flower still lives.
I started to wonder, why does this flower seem immune to the laws of nature? While other plants need to be watered regularly and cared for with love, the purple paper flower thrives in even the driest places. Hot? It doesn't care. Rain? It blooms even more. Lack of nutrition? No problem. It's like a friend who is always cheerful even though her life is a mess.
And for some reason, I became a little jealous. How come, this flower still looks beautiful without any extra effort? Meanwhile, if I sleep a little late, I immediately look like a zombie.
But the longer I look at it, the more I understand. The purple paper flower is not just a flower, it is a symbol of tenacity. It doesn't need too much attention, it's not spoiled, but it can still steal attention. Sometimes we focus too much on the big things in life that we forget that courage can also be as simple as surviving in all weather, like this purple paper flower.
Now, if you need some life motivation, try looking at the purple paper flower on the side of the road. Maybe it can't give you a solution, but it can give you an example: keep surviving, keep blooming, and stay beautiful, even though the world sometimes doesn't care.
