Part 1: Dandelion & Oleander
Joy
\ˌˈjȯi\
Noun
: a state of happiness or felicity
I can't believe I'm a lady now! Oh, how time flies. I like to imagine time actually flying, being blown away by the strongest winds that came in the past seasons. It sounds scary, but it's actually a blessing in disguise. The strong breeze brought new flowers towards my tree. I find myself a dandelion, which sounds wild but actually seems vulnerable. I believe it symbolizes growth, hope, and healing. I'm amazed by how its vulnerability keeps itself stronger every time. This is the kind of independence and strength I want to possess. I also find myself an oleander, all cautious, beautiful, and graceful. Watching it dance along the music of the wind inspires me. I never knew such beauty and grace exists in this world. I could feel my heart jump for joy. With just a few minutes of holding the dandelion and oleander, I could already feel the comfort that satisfies me. I just found myself more friends again! I'm fully content of this life, but my journey is far from over.
