I guess some of us are not meant to live soft lives. Maybe not yet. Maybe not ever. But still, something in us keeps reaching for light. Some of us were handed grief too early, betrayal too often, and chaos in places where love should have been. And still, somehow, we are expected to bloom anyway. Yet among the ruins, we remain stubborn enough to keep growing. To become wildflowers in places that were never meant to hold beauty. Maybe that is why I have always loved wildflowers. They grow without asking permission to exist. They soften abandoned places simply by surviving there. I think people like us do the same. We may not have chosen the ground we were planted in, but we grew into something of our own. And for that, I want to say thank you. Thank you for never giving up. Thank you for continuing to create, to love, and to remain gentle even when the world has given you every reason not to. As June begins, may it remind us that growth is still growth, even when it happens quietly. And may us find more reasons to believe that what we have endured is not all there is. M. | To the ones who bloom anyway June 1st, 2026
