“I’d rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck.” Emma Goldman

So I kind of LOVE roses.  It’s funny though because when I was younger and my parents would get me flowers for my dance recital I didn’t really care. I was like OHHHHHH Preetttyyy, K. Done. But then someone introduced me to St.Therese and she always gives people that ask for her intercession a flower of some type usually a rose. After that I was obsessed with roses. Give me a single rose and I’m yours forever. So this weekend when I went to a banquet and they had these roses. When it ended they were going to throw them away and that is not OK. There is no point in letting perfectly beautiful flowers go to waste especially roses. So me and friend grabbed and few and left. 

I know it sounds crazy that a simple rose will appease me. Most girls want diamond rings and expensive gifts and all I want is a simple rose. For me they symbolize beauty. They symbolize something so much more than any expensive gift could. The only upsetting thing is that they don’t last for long. But I think that’s part of the joy, you get this short gift for a short amount of time but it usually comes unexpectedly  and you usually get to enjoy it like a guest. It doesn’t stay for long but you get to enjoy its presence while it is there for the short time its there.

I think if there was anything that I would want always present in my life would be roses. They symbolize something so beautiful and pure. (and yes I took these pictures :D )
