the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree

I just purchased my first plant. There is something about growing up and living alone that makes me want to turn into a crazy plant lady.

I don't know what makes me think I am responsible enough to take care of another living and breathing thing. How presumptuous of me, really.

And what really makes this whole situation ironic is that, growing up my mother always had an array of plants around our house and I always told her I would never do that. Look at me now.
