Actions weigh so much more
than words. If you say you're "different"... PLEASE stop trying to be someone else. A Red Rose in the midst of dandelions is STILL a Red Rose. We were meant to stand out. Not shed our beautiful petals for temporary, dandelion dust that will soon float away.. then what's left of you..??... Just a withering stem of The Rose you were Made to be.

Dandelions are a nuisance.. they contaminate beautiful gardens, fields, and lawns. They also reproduce at rapid rates. With hardly any effort whatsoever. A rose has to be planted, fed, nurtured, pruned, and cared for. And as it grows it develops prickly thorns.. so those that just grab it.. are harmed. But those that carefully watch it.. observe it.. can see where the thorns are, and they learn how to handle it carefully.

Where a Rose is found, beauty is found. Artists attempt to capture that Beauty, in painting layer after layer, shading, erasing, and repainting once again.. to make the perfect, luscious color of the rose. People marvel at it's color.. it's uniqueness. Meanwhile, Dandelions are found in only plain sketches. Almost never in any color, but in plain black and white.. or Sepia.


A single Rose can be given away, as a token of love.. or arranged in a beautiful bouquet. They bring a smile, a warmness, to one's Face and Heart. They have a pleasant fragrance that we often stop to smell…Soft velvety petals, that we often stop to touch.
Can you gather a bunch of dandelions before the seeds float away?
(like fake people.. with fake thoughts.. or NO thoughts at all)
Can you smell a pleasant fragrance?? Do you stand in awe of it's beauty?

Why try to be a dandelion?? Just because those around you are dandelions...doesn't mean you have to mix in. Just because it's more "popular" to be a dandelion... doesn't mean It's Better. Just because you are the only Rose amidst the dandelions... doesn't make you ugly... or weird. It makes you... UNIQUE... DIFFERENT... BEAUTIFUL!!

Be glad to be an outcast among the weeds! See you're worth! That you're much more valuable and TRUE.
When you stand among plain, stinky dandelions... Is when You(The Rose) stand out the most.
Your beauty shines through. Treasure your Rareness, your Beauty.
Grow into A beautiful Rose Garden... Prosper.
Let those that see you rejoice in your beauty.
Let them smile at the reminder of God's beautiful creation.
Let yourself be a gift to others. Let your meaning...
Be a Meaning of LOVE <3
