in loving memory of
unnamed string of pearls
3 weeks
not enough light
“the shop said bright indirect. my bathroom said no.”
every plant here was loved. badly, but loved. we bury them with their real cause of death, because honesty is how the next one survives. leave a flower 🌼 on the ones that hit home.
6 plants remembered here. zero judged.
give it a proper goodbye. name, dates, cause of death, a few last words. confession is the first step to better watering.

bad vibes, probably
“the journal literally started because of you. your death was not in vain.”
in loving memory of
2024 – 2026
forgot it existed
“you hung in the one corner i never look at. that was on me, gerald.”
