It's the thought that matters, right?

Or you could write their names and draw flowers for them around it. That would be more permanent than just leaving flowers somewhere for them.

[retellers]

... That may be simpler. And it would allow the flowers to keep blooming where they are, as well.

[chanteuser]

Plus, I think flowers are easier to draw for a beginner. Compared to people that is.

[retellers]

It is difficult to capture people's likeness...

[chanteuser]

Right? People are difficult to figure out. Even on paper.

A flower is always a flower, but a person can be sad, mad or happy just by tweaking their eyebrows or something. It’s complicated.

[retellers]

Mm. Perhaps the exterior is a reflection of the interior--a flower lives its life simply.

[chanteuser]

[ i love goat. ]

Or like when people talk about roses looking pretty but having thorns? Things aren't always what they seem.

[retellers]

[ they nod. ]

That is true as well. As they say, still waters run deep.
