saturday

had a little argument with my lover about flowers yesterday.

he argued they were impractical. useless, one could say.

i said they were pretty. they don't have any logical purpose, but they look nice for a moment, and i adore giving them to you. they're purpose is to look nice, to be pretty. and if we considered everything that's primary purpose is to look pretty, useless, that would be an awfully plain life.

and he said that's true, but beauty after functionality.

not sure i agree.

beauty drives me to do the necessary. i'll finish the dishes to go to the beach. if the beach was considered useless, just because it's pretty, and i didn't go purely out of "is it tangibly useful" it would be much harder for me to do the dishes.

i think i'll bring my lover a flower on saturday. just because i can. and maybe it's traditionally "useless", but to hell if that means i'll stop gifting them to him. perhaps a daisy, because those are his favourite. perhaps a purple rose, or a red carnation, or something blue.
