Flower Ask
I guess I’m supposed to let my followers send me bouquets of questions but there’s only like 3 of you so that’d be sad. So i'mma just pretend I bought myself a bouquet.
Daisy: How old were you when you had your first kiss?
I was 13. My boyfriend was going to summer camp and I wasn’t going to see him for a whole month so I thought I’d send him off with a kiss.
Carnation: If I handed you a concert ticket right now, who would you want to be the performer?
Adele. 100%. Hands down. She’s amazeballs.
Jasmine: What colour looks best on you?
I think I look best in a cool tone burgundy. Which is a struggle to accept because Mum always said “no one looks good in red” and basically banned red from my wardrobe.
Foxglove: Name three facts about your family.
1. My parents both moved across the country as young adults, away from their families. As a result I only really consider my family to be my parents and my brother.
2. My brother and sister in law have the most adorable son that I am so, so proud to be an auntie to. I love him more than most people/things/tacos.
3. My parents are divorced; both have new partners and have been in loving, healthy relationships for many years.
Allium: What’s the best thing you can cook?
I don’t really cook. I have a husband to do that for me. I make a pretty fucking tasty meatloaf tho.
Orange Blossom: If you could pick the gender and appearance of your child, would you?
Appearance, no. Gender… If I am lucky enough to have children, I hope that I have a boy and a girl. If I never have a daughter, I will be devastated because of how strong my relationship is with my mum. I just want the chance to have that with my own daughter.
Calla Lily: If you died right now, what song would you want to play at your funeral?
If I Die Young - The Band Perry
I’m pretty much a walking cliché.
Pointsetta: Favourite holiday dish?
Mum’s dressing. Holy fuck. Perfect sweet/savoury combo.
Oxlip: Would you ever get into a long distance relationship?
No. My love language is physical touch.
Primrose: Favourite kind of soup?
Wonton soup. Actually that’s probably the dish I do best too.
Daffodil: What’s the most thoughtful present you’ve ever received?
This is tough to explain. My childhood best friend once gave me a packet of Mr Noodles and a bottle of water from her parents’ house. Growing up I spent a lot of time eating dinner at her house and they’d always make Mr Noodles when I was over because it was my favourite. You’d ask what was for dinner, they’d say “Eryn’s favourite soup”, you’d know it was noodles. My mum would try to make them for me and I’d always whine that it wasn’t the same, they didn’t taste right. We figured out that it was because my best friend’s tap water was from a well so it tasted different, sulphuric. So, I took my noodles and bottle of water home and made myself dinner that day and it was like I was 6 years old again. My best friend gave me a piece of my childhood. She gave me a gift no one else could have ever known to give me.
Rose: Are you currently in love with someone?
Yes.
Amsonia: Would you ever become a vegan?
I don’t think so.
Peony: What’s your favorite hot beverage?
A really beautiful, spicy, fragrant Chai latte.
Tulip: For your birthday, what kind of cake do you ask for?
My mother in law makes me the most delicious carrot cake.
Myrtle: Do you like going on airplanes?
Physically being on the plane, yes. Take off, landing, turbulence, fuck yeah! Actually going through the process of getting on the plane really stresses me out though.
Hibiscus: Did you ever play an instrument? If yes, what?
Once upon a time, I could sort of play an acoustic guitar.
Zinnia: Who was your best friend when you were six years old?
My darling C. 20 years later and I still love her like a sister.
Poppy: What colour was your childhood home?
It was a bungalow with white siding and red brick along the front.
Hydrangea: Starbucks order?
Venti flat white with soy
Violet: Do you like where you’re from?
What an odd question. I mean, being born into a middle class Caucasian family in Canada, I have literally nothing to complain about.
Locust: What was your favourite book as a child?
The Velveteen Rabbit or The Paperbag Princess
Rhododendron: What’s the scariest dream you’ve ever had?
It was a fever dream and I was probably 7 or 8. I was dreaming in a watercolour with calm line drawings of the sea. I was on a boat fishing and suddenly the colours became very dark and menacing and the calm line drawings became jagged scribbles and I was terrified my boat was going to sink. I woke up screaming and I’ve never felt such panic before or since.
Queen Anne’s Lace: Would you rather wrap a present or carve a pumpkin?
Definitely wrap a present. There’s something so satisfying about scissors snicking through wrapping paper and folding perfectly square corners.
Magnolia: Favourite kind of candy?
Swedish berries or blue raspberries
Aster: Would you rather be hot or cold?
Cold. Easier to put a sweater on than peel my flesh off.
Marigold: Do you listen to what’s on the radio?
Not if I can help it! Love that my new car has Bluetooth.
Heliconia: Do you like when it rains?
I prefer the rain. As long as it’s a true, earnest rainfall. I hate the piddly misty stuff. I want a downpour.
Azalea: What’s a movie you’ve cried while watching?
The Stoning of Soraya M. I sobbed inconsolably from about five minutes in, to about 20 minutes after.
Dandelion: Do you think you’re important?
To my family and friends, yes. To my community, no. My greatest contribution is as a nurse; but there are many who are better, smarter and kinder than I.

Mental Health Awareness Month headers featuring some serious statistics. Mental illnesses are very real and difficult to cope with, but you are never alone in the fight. Mental illness affects more people than we think; and the more we talk openly about the facts the more we can crush the stigmas surrounding them. Your illness is nothing to be ashamed of. ♡

I put tubes in people and pull tubes out of people. I stuff cuts full of foam and gauze and attach vacuum hoses to them. But mostly, I insist that strangers show me their urine and feces so that I can measure it.
I am a surgical nurse on a bowel unit.
NURBLRS, SO WHAT DO YOU DO?
