Do You Know About The Fig Tree Analogy?

Do you know about the fig tree analogy?

It's from Slyvia Plath's novel The Bell Jar. It basically states what you could or could've been in life. The fig tree represents life and the figs represent all the options you have. You pick one, but must let go of all the others.

When you're all alone, in your bed, looking up at the ceiling, do you ever think of what might've been? what could've been? or what could be? Because I certainly do. I think about the risks I should've taken, the decisions I should've made and how it would shape my life. I think about how I dream of becoming an astronaut, a fashion designer, a business owner, a doctor, a journalist, a pianist and an artist. I think about how life would be if I experienced teenage romance.

I sometimes wonder if it's unhealthy to ponder about these things, after all we're taught to be content with what we have. And as depressing as it is, I also see the beauty in it. Imagine how life would be for you if you picked the wrong fig, or maybe the fig is still ripening, waiting for the perfect time to be harvested.

With all the options you have, I do hope you pick the right fig.

Adorable Human Things

You know, I actually do believe that there is more kindness in the world than there is evil. Call it naivety or foolish optimism but I do think that there is so much wholesomeness in the human race. To support this statement, I will list down things that makes humans adorable.

1. Humans look out for the good of others, sometimes putting other's need before their own.

2. Humans say "bless you" when someone sneezes.

3. No matter what the age, humans dangle their feet when they can't reach the floor.

4. Whenever visiting a foreign place, the first word that humans will learn is hello i.e bounjour, hola, ni hao, konichiwa.

5.Humans get "attacks of happiness" when it's a cold day and they get under their blanket.

6. Any human has a fandom that they belong to, and in that fandom they interact with other people who share the same interests.

7. Humans love a sweet treat! Sometimes they even save money just to buy a treat for themselves.

8. Humans listen to music that has a catchy rhythm, oftentimes not minding the lyrics.

9. When taking a wacky photograph, a human's default pose is a peace sign.

10. Humans hug each other for comfort! When they are particularly excited, they hug tighter and sometimes lift a person off the ground.

Those are just some of the things that makes humans adorable :D

Why do I feel like that alien butterflies would just straight up ignore that their darling wants to leave

Reader: I need to go home.

Butterfly: Hmm? Did you hear that?

Reader: I said I need to GO HOME!

Butterfly: Huh, I think there might be a draft... I'm closing the windows.

Plz, correct me if I'm wrong 😅

No you're correct, that's pretty accurate! They'd just flap you with their wings every time you try to bring up that you needed to go home, ignoring any sign that you couldn't stay the night.

"hey so I need to g-" *soft smack*

"What was that? Why'd you do that?"

"Hmm? i don't know what you mean. What were you saying?"

"I was saying I need to head ho-" *another smack*
