So this is a post in response to @mariannewest daily freewrite prompt (today: POTATOES).
Freewriting is basicly that you write for 5 minutes, whatever comes and don't stop until it's over. (I corrected the typos in this one, but that's all)
Potatoes don't need your permission.
They just come and grow.
No questions asked, almost no care needed.
I guerilla planted them to the parking lot, next to the community garden.
I put them on gravel and covered them with shredded weed and leaves.
Some water sometimes, more coverage, nothing else.
And it still grew, big happy green plant, small round mini potatoes.
It dried up by the time I harvested it.
Such a fighter. I aspire to be a potato, but trying hard not to be one. Humans are not designed to grow without care. Self care is not enough, you got to water others and enjoy the warmth of people around you.
I respect the potato, but I try not to become one.
That's all.
It went to a Coehlo direction, haha.
Anyway, feel free to join in and just write!

Thanks for reading!!!
(I made this photo, I couldn't find one about the guerilla potato or the end result, so, I just put some flowers here instead to cheer up whoever feels like some flowers would be nice. This is for you!)
