The Flower Theory

Ever since the days of my youth, I thought of myself as a dreamer and a highly contemplative individual. This intuition led me to a lot of contemplations and theories about life and reality as we knew it. These theories still permeate many aspects of my life as I lead it today.

When I was 10 years old, I came up with a theory about humankind that I had only rationalised to one or two other trusted individuals at the time. I didn't know what to think of my thought, but I knew that it had some weight behind it. To this day, whenever I share this thought with individuals, the same criticism I got back then still exudes itself today.

when I told my 4th grade teacher Sharon about this philosophy, she told me that it was one of the most beautiful philosophies that any of her students had ever come up with. As an agnostic freethinker herself, she greatly valued the emphasis that her teachings and philosophies had on her class and humankind. To this day, I am fortunate to call her a friend and confidante.

And so, I call this the Flower Theory.

human beings are a lot like flowers. concerning these plants, They all have a similar composition; a stamen for a reproduction, chloroplasts to allow nutrient intake, pedals to show the world their beauty, stem and leaf to contain my body, and routes to spread their network of life into the Earth. They go through the circle of life just as we do, what's germination rivaling R. Of fetal development, the proliferation and sprouting to be similar to are lifespan development and reproductive cycle.

human beings are very similar, as we have the same basic components. Alongside this, a very small amount of genetic differentiation separates and identifies one flower from another. Likewise, human beings, with the remaining 1% that makes us different. No two flowers are alike, and as are human beings. roses have beautiful petals but a painful Underside, just as some humans do. Hyacinths provide nutrients for other insects, and many human beings choose nurturing career paths in a similar fashion. on a slightly cheaper note, there are some plants like dandelion and Ragweed that are mostly used as a nuisance but can also be turned into cannon fodder, and there are plenty of humans that might fit that description as well.

When the gametes starts in the ovum or testes, this is the seed. When we meet our Fertile Earth, our mother's womb, then we start to germinate, just the way a blastocyst does or a sapling may. We have a rude rough and rumple period in infancy and toddlerhood, and young flowering plants do the same.

We all strive to be different and beautiful, just like the flower garden dies. If we start seeing human beings more as flowers in this Garden instead of Weeds on the roadside, then we might start to regard life is more diverse and beautiful and begin to accept every human being a face value.

And what's a similar fashion, I also deduced that the life cycle of a human being and of a flower to have an end one day, where they return to the Earth after providing new life to other life forms. This is the inevitable part of life that we all must be aware of, and nothing is exempt from it. However, the life of a flower or a human being is beautiful and everlasting.

I was 10 years old when I came up with this Prejudice free and humanistic Theory. Journaling about it nearly 14 years later, I still believe it to be true and valid to this day. May the world one day be a more beautiful place because of theories like this. And hopefully, I'm not alone in my form of thinking.

To those who have big dreams

When I was in high school, I wrote a song called follow your dreams. I released it 3 years later as an undergraduate student and a program that I knew it wasn't right for me. I had Big Dreams, and no idea how I would ever achieve them.

Until, one day, I decided to blindly go after them and start pursuing them with every ounce of energy I had left and my tired body.

Add all I can say, is that I am so glad that I did. I didn't have much money, nor resources, or time, but I still found a way to go out and see the world. 

If there is ever even a passing thought in your mind that you want to live in another country, find out what you need to do for that country in order to become a part of it. Familiarize yourself with local terminology and systems, such as prices of things, their currency, their language, and their social life. Try to hang out with the locals as much as possible and to shy away from what the tourists are doing. where on their mannerisms, how they talk, how they eat, how they think, how they sleep, and how they joke.  

And most importantly of all, learn the resources and finances needed to integrate with this new country. When I was going abroad to study for two years in London, I needed to register myself with the National Institution of health, and renew it every year for about $500 each time. I needed to apply for the biometric residence permit and Visa, which cost roughly $1,000. I need it to pay for extra vaccinations out-of-pocket. I need it to go through criminal clearances in both my country and there's sand and lots of long lines, accumulate a mini cabinet worth of paperwork, and remain on hold for up to 20 minutes of times to speak with people across the pond about various documentation and Licensing processes. sometimes I would wait 4 weeks on the ends to get documents mailed to me.

All of this had to occur before I could even buy my plane ticket and stepped foot in the airport. The process was not easy, but it was greatly worth my time and effort. The memories I made or insurmountable, and the friendships and Partnerships established for lifelong and Limitless.
