how did my messy front yard turn into my daily escape zone?

Every time I step into my front yard, it feels like I’m walking into a whole new world. Back in 2020, things felt heavy, but digging my hands into the dirt made it all lighter. I started small—just a few sunflowers and some herbs by the walkway. Watering them every morning gave me a reason to get outside, breathe, and just watch things grow. Pulling weeds became my stress relief. Planting tomatoes meant I always had something to look forward to. Even on tough days, seeing a new bloom pop up felt like a little win. If you’re feeling stuck, try planting something. It doesn’t have to be fancy. A couple of pots or a tiny patch of soil can make a huge difference. Trust me, your mind will thank you. #gardening #mentalhealth #outdoorliving #happiness #selfcare
