So the flower business happened. Boy, did it happen. I am now building a flower cart so I can take the whole build-your-own bouquet business on the road. I should tell you that I finally started editing the book I was writing at the same time I was working my fingers into a knot by removing trillions of thorns, and dropping things in front of people who were trying to enjoy themselves at parties. It was a harrowing time, but I got a ton of material and I met the most amazing people. I also learned some pretty interesting life lessons that I’d like to pass on to you my young readers/writers, fellow flower lovers:
- If you find something you like to do better than what you thought you were supposed to do, do the thing you like better instead.
- If someone isn’t nice to you, it’s probably because they’re a horrible person.
- No matter how hard you work, you will get old.
- Fortunately, you can always get plastic surgery and I recommend you do it sooner than later.
- People who have great difficulty learning English are nicer than people who can learn English. This is 100 percent true. I’ve met them all.
- The more overworked you are the more you can do.
- Wear socks. No one ever taught me this and I’m always cold and generally uncomfortable.
- If you’re good at something, people will ask you to do it for them for free. Just do it. Honestly, who cares? About anything.
- Surround yourself with beautiful things and try to write a little every day. You’ll always be happy.
- People steal.
