Flowers and weeds

This is part of a larger Promarker drawing in my art journal but I wanted to share the meaning of this little snippet!

To grow a flower the soil must be maintained, have nutrients and be watered. Sometimes as we have grown up we haven't had these things so we get what I call emotional weeds. Those hardy plants that spring up in bad conditions to survive the toughest of times. But as we start to recover we want to be like the flowers of the field. So we learn new coping skills, we practice them and grow them until we see a change in us. Much like the gardener who plants, waters and feeds the garden.
