Some may say that because Rosa is Spanish for rose, that she would in fact, be like a rose. But i say otherwise, roses have thorns, imperfections that cannot be embraced therefore removed and discarded of, cut off from the stalk. Instead i see Rosa as a
buttercup, the bright yellow that contrasts with the green of the morning grass.
Buttercups shine in the sun, reflecting its happy light on to those who may want to see it in its
full glory. They shine with such
vibrancy that no other flower can, simply because of its vivid nature. Buttercups may be common in their season, but its hard to find the right buttercup, with the right amount of shine, that shows up at the right time, just for you to pick. You could say that the buttercup chooses yo pick YOU and not the other way around. So when you find your buttercup, cherish their bright colors, embrace them in their dark moments, and shade them from the sun when they begin to shrivel and hide away. Rosa is just like a
Buttercup, hiding away when she needs you the most, wanting to be embraced in dark moments, That is why it is important to adore her in her best moments, to ensure that she will come to you in her worst. Quality over quantity is what we're told, although i haven't known you for long, i hope you remember me when you're old.
Happy birthday Rosa, will you continue to be my
Buttercup? :)
