mosses and liverworts are the best... leafy liverworts especially are always a treat to stumble across ;u; ive tried growing them at home but they seem to have pretty specific preferences and i never really got it to work consistently

im not sure what im trying to say if anything at all.. its just a random thought that felt important in the moment

over the years ive realised that often the help from my friends or my partner has not been that they directly gave solutions to my problems but instead that they stuck around through hard times, just to make things a little bit more okay until i found a way for me to carry on.
