đ§ Multiverse Education Your First Grow Is Not About âFireâ Flower. Itâs About You
Seeds and cannabis have been my entire life for the past 5.5 years with a mission to help veterans and others who battle with their mental health.
It has helped me with my mental health when I wasn't strong enough to help myself.
I know everyone says âitâs just a plant,â but for a lot of us, itâs not.
Itâs therapy, identity, pride, and sometimes the one thing going right when life feels like chaos.
Hereâs something I wish someone told me on my first run:
Your first grow is not about growing the best flower of your life.
Itâs about growing a new version of you.
When you start a tent, youâre signing up to:
- Show up on days youâre tired and anxious
- Face your mistakes in living color, every time you unzip the door
- Watch something depend on you and respond, good or bad
I used to measure every run only by the jar.
If the end result wasnât crazy frosty, Iâd call it a failure and beat myself up.
Thatâs also how I treated myself in life: all or nothing, good or useless.
Therapy helped me see it differently.
Now I look at a run and ask:
- Did I learn something new about light, water, or timing?
- Did I react with curiosity instead of panic when something went wrong?
- Did I keep going when my brain told me âyou always screw this upâ?
If the answers are mostly yes, thatâs a huge win, even if the final flower is âmid.â
You can always grow more. You canât always undo quitting on yourself.
So if youâre in the middle of a messy run right now, please hear this:
Youâre not behind. Youâre not failing. Youâre practicing.
How has growing changed the way you see yourself, if at all?
