Marigolds
The things you do affect everyone around you.
Whether you mean to or not, destroying someone’s sense of hope will always destroy them, even if they pretend it didn’t.

When it is taken away there is nothing. No personality, no emotion, just numb.
No one knows why we hurt each other, maybe it’s to get ahead by dragging others down, maybe it’s to make ourselves feel better.
It’s human nature, it’s survival. But it’s also destruction. Like cheating in a game, is there really any reward other than the win?
In the moment it may feel amazing, but I promise, as time moves on, you’ll feel worse and worse.
Don’t destroy others’ marigolds, it destroys their everything.
