While most of the world is going to think that you've gone crazy, spending time in your garden, planning your garden and harvesting food from your own garden adds joy to your life. You grew that food. You nourished that food with compost you created yourself. You planned every aspect of your organic garden and as time passes your garden becomes more healthy and self-sufficient. You did it all with your own two little hands, a little knowledge and a desire to grow healthy food for yourself and your family.
Even though most people might say that you could easily buy the same vegetables from the grocery store, the truth is that these aren't the same vegetables that you grow. In addition to the fact that you have a wide choice of different vegetables to grow that you won't find in your grocery store, your vegetables haven't been treated with pesticides or chemical fertilizers. With different strains of heirloom seeds and plants available to you online, you have the opportunity to try your hand at growing things that you probably didn't even know existed.
Meanwhile, your competition took advantage of the situation. He probably didn't have to do a whole lot other than listen to your girlfriend to build a connection and bond with her. All he had to do was listen to her talk and be supportive of her. She felt safe with him and protected. There was no drama and he probably was able to make her laugh and feel good about herself with very little effort.
Lastly, work on your self-esteem and your self-confidence. Start doing things that make you feel good. Read up on psychology and work through any problems or baggage that you may be carrying around. All of us are pretty damaged emotionally and we could all use some help in this department. Learning more about relationships, why things go wrong and what you can do to avoid problems in the future is a good use of your time. Watching motivational videos is a little trick that I use when I'm feeling down and you should too. You don't have to do much. You just have to sit there and soak it all in. You should feel good about yourself. After all, how is someone else supposed to love you if you think that you're a piece of garbage?
While much of the world may scoff at you from saving egg shells and scraps leftover from dinner, you know that what you're doing in creating your organic garden is not a chore. Spending time working in your garden is not labor. Savoring fruits and vegetables that you raised yourself is about so much more than saving money or spending time outdoors. Your garden feeds your soul and nourishes you heart. Your garden becomes a part of you and your life. As it grows and flourishes, so do you. Organic gardening is an addiction and a madness that we embrace once it gets in our blood and our life that makes us whole.
