i didn't want to do it. it seemed pointless and hard. i couldn't remember anything about gardening, like which tomatoes need cages...but i knew in my core it would help me feel better. i said to loki, if i was treating someone else, i'd tell them to garden. so i did it anyways. it felt good to just do it, even if i didn't want to (i imagine there will be more projects like that coming soon!)...it sucked for a long time...and then it didn't suck any more. it felt good. the potatoes felt nourishing, the earth felt restorative, the sun on my skin felt like life. the act of watering felt like giving back. it all just suddenly felt good. and then i wanted some more starts to plant! must get some.
