The garden is a mirror of the heart.

Just so you know, these are self-made origami flowers & frog, ladybird, and butterfly.

Some people say, our lives are just like our own gardens. 

When we have so many seeds, we have limited planting space. It's like how we have so much to do, but so little time. Life is short, money is limited. We do what we can with what we have.
What we grow in our gardens are like our plans. We make a decision to do something, it's like throwing a seed of a certain type into the soil to let it grow. 

Whatever seeds we throw in our soil will grow overtime to become shoots, and then bloom with flowers. The flowers in our gardens are like the friends we have around us.

Somehow, halfway through the cultivating of the garden (or if not well-maintained), there will be the growth of weeds to compete for sunlight with your plants. It's like adversities that will come and "battle" with you and/or your friends. They're like obstacles to a good relationship. The obstacles to have a good, green, pure garden. 

How you cultivate the garden reminds you so much about how you structure your lifestyle. 
The garden is a mirror of the heart. 

On a random note, I feel like visiting a huge garden right now. I miss being with nature, having my hair being blown by the wind, having the skirt of my dress afloat mid-air, having my eyes closed and genuinely feeling the serenity of the other side of the grass patch. 

P.S The main aim of this post is almost entirely to show off my self-made origami of a mini-garden. There will be more origami to come, when I get the inspiration to make. I just learnt how to make an owl (random)!
