‘Emotional support cactus’, is honouring a cactus from real life, who appeared on my way to therapy in a challenging chapter of my life. It was bulky, damaged, and full of spikes. I couldn’t resist, and put it inside my shopping bag. We spent the whole day together, hurting each other unintentionally. When we got home, I planted it, and a few days after, it grew a bunch of new leaves. Since then, it cheers up my days, as a reminder, that life hurts sometimes, but we can always grow, and enjoy it’s beauty while healing.
