I’m an Agric student, of course I clear lands I'm never going to plant on. It’s frustrating, but there’s absolutely nothing I or anyone else can do about it because it is what it is. That’s not why I’m here, but what’s a letter to my wife without a little rant.
In every relationship, communication is key. The padlock never changes. I’m sure you’ll agree with me that your last situationship ended either because you both stopped texting/talking or because one person stopped replying and the other person got tired of texting. Can you see the importance of communication now?
Why do you think it’s said that one of the best ways to move on from a person is to cut communication with the person? Constant communication= Attention = Vulnerability = Affection= You know what.
I attended a lecture today and we were talking about soil and plants. The lecturer mentioned that when it comes to plants, once a nutrient is deficient, you’ll notice easily. It might be through the leaves (that turn yellow or brown), stunted growth, or poor root development.
But when it comes to soil, it’s always hard to figure out what’s wrong. It’s until you take the soil sample to the lab for a test that you’ll know what’s going on with it. If you don’t do this and you go ahead to plant, you’ll experience unnecessary problems. Had it been soil is like plants, you'd easily figure out what’s going on and solve the problem.
So I ask again, what type of partner are you? Soil or plant? When something is going on, the plant communicates effectively. You can see that something is wrong and it will let you know what it is. It will be evident. For soil, you have to start asking if it’s okay like a million times (run a series of tests) before you know what’s going on.
Life is like planting and harvesting in this scenario. It’s already hard. The fact that a soil can’t communicate what is going on with it shouldn’t cost you your seed or harvest. As an individual, be a plant partner, communicate what’s going on with you and don’t stress your partner.
I’m not saying you shouldn’t gift your partner but beyond that, give your partner peace of mind. You are both adults and you shouldn’t have to mask anything up. If you don’t communicate, you’ll become aggressive at the slightest provocation because you’ve been piling it up.
After all, you’re both adults. When your partner does something you are not content with, talk about it. Don’t be silent. You don’t agree with a POV, voice out. No one is going to beat you. If anyone is beating you into submission and you’re still with him/her, then you’re a goat. Yes, Ewure, meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Like I said earlier, life is already hard. Don’t make it harder for the innocent brother or sister because you chose to not communicate. Be a plant partner, not a soil partner.
Happy Valentine’s Day.
Till when next I write to you,
Stay Strategic About Your View Of Life.
I have never thought of the concept of the soil and plant. This is a very interesting concept I really enjoy reading through. Nice work 👍
