Created for Saturday Self-Challenge ~ Fruit and Vegetables

This started off as a macro shot of spring onions growing in our veggie garden - I then took a shot of some apples and their leaves, put that though DDG with a SNIP of my spring onion, and used that as a texture over the original macro. The bee came along for the ride.

Why be normal?

_______________________________________________

From childhood to youth and from youth to old age, humans strive to earn respect and admiration from others. We constantly seek validation, trying to prove ourselves worthy in the eyes of others. But the world remains unimpressed, never satisfied with our efforts.

If you're simple and genuine, the world mocks you, calling you naive or weak. If you're intelligent and insightful, it envies you, feeling threatened by your wisdom. If you keep to yourself, it labels you arrogant or aloof. If you're friendly and outgoing, it calls you a flatterer or people-pleaser.

In the end, you'll leave this world quietly, wondering what it was all about. You'll ask, "What was the point of this life?" And nobody will have the answer.We realize too late that true fulfillment comes from within, not from external validation.
