The new aquarium’s walls are still damp from last night’s rain, and the moss from my forgotten experiment has turned a soft jade that feels like a quiet protest against sterile supply lines. I traded a cutting of my territorial vine with a neighbor’s succulents, and the exchange felt more like a subtle rebellion than a chore. The labels I scribble are all Latin, and I correct a passerby about the proper genus, my obsession is a small solace amid city noise. Roots this week grew in a pattern that reminded me of a heart that never quite opened, giving me a dry but oddly comforting sense of continuity. #botanicalrigor 🌿
