I neglected my flowers

I neglected my flowers

Every summer I have hanging baskets on my deck. I love them. I spend a lot of time taking care of them. I started the summer with beautiful baskets. I would come home at lunch to make sure they were not getting too much sun, I spent time after work removing dried leaves and petals.
I'm not sure when it happened but I started neglecting them. I stopped going out on the deck. I stopped looking at them. I can't explain why. Part of me thinks it may be a metaphor for how I've treated myself lately.

I am typing this and looking out my window and wondering how this happened. At what point did my self care not count. By self care I mean mental and emotional. I do shower, I don't mope around in sweats or eat tubs of ice cream.

I suppose it's too late for the flowers but not me.

 I always wondered why people equated eating good things as bad well maybe not tubs of ice cream but ice cream in reasonable quantities isn't bad
Don't compromise yourself! You are all you've got!
