Weeds

For me, letting go of old habits can be harder than learning new ones.

Especially when I have never perceived of them as habits, nor do I have any idea why I have had them.

For some of my very old habits the removal process is about as difficult and satisfying as attempting to eradicate onion weed from the backyard.

That’s nothoscordum borbonicum my friends.

This little fucker is so pervasive that it’s a lot smarter just to change one’s mental habit of perceiving it as a weed.

After all the concept of a ‘weed’ is totally subjective; there is no formal definition.

Weeds are simply plants that thrive in the presence of humans and that we collectively decide are unattractive and unwanted.

Sometimes letting go of old habits is as easy as letting go of old prejudices.
