Growth & growing- We don’t always see the growth immediately but we start to feel and notice when our pot, city, house, starts to become limiting. We have expanded our roots so much we have no place for more growth.
I was looking at my plant and looked at how low the soil was and I was a bit confused for a few minutes because this pot was full and now it’s less than 3/4 full. It finally dawned on me that yeppp my plant has outgrown my cute little pink pot. At this point majority of my plants I’ve had to repot because they’ve grown and it wasn’t until this plant that I had this remarkable thought.

I bought this plant shortly after I moved to Los Angeles. I actually bought all my plants when I moved to Southern California. I love all my cute little plants, all 9 of them! They all vary in size from my monstera to my snake plant.
Growing up In Utah I rarely saw any plants in people’s homes. But when I moved to California it was part of the house. Having green living leaves in all corners of the home and apartments are what gives it character and in my opinion more life!
Humans and plants are so similar. I think that’s why we relate so much to plants. We need water, sunshine, and dirt to ground ourselves. The same goes with plants.
We grow on the daily and in the moment we feel the growing pains but then one day we learned the skills or lessons and then we naturally move onto something new while what we went through becomes so natural and a part of our routine.
I’ve been having the itch for something new. I’ve been in LA for the last 3.5 years and they have been the best years so far! I’ve met so many great people, I’ve explored and have done so many things in Southern California. But I like change and exploring new parts of myself.
I’m not sure what that change is yet because I’m not quite ready to leave La or Southern California because this has become my home. I have grown with it and I can’t imagine my life without being here. I know I’ve always been a west coast gal:-)
Moving to a new city you get to figure out what your favorite coffee shop is, what park you like to walk to, what’s going to be your local grocery store you’ll shop at. Once you have a routine and being in the city for awhile those just become default.
There is just something so magical of figuring things out on your own.
It’s okay to outgrow friends, places, and old beliefs. It’s normal to feel anxious or sad over a chapter closing. New beginnings and endings bring up so much emotion.
Brace change! The only thing constant is change! Grow through what you go through!
Every plant and human grows in different ways and in the environment they are in. If your environment is not nourishing you in the way you’d like, get up and start soul searching of what’s going to. We all require different amounts of sunlight, water, fertilization, and dirt. It’s up to us to reflect and become one with ourselves to internalize what we need.
Be kind to yourself and speak kind things to your plants too
