I started a very nice and productive garden that was producing a lot of food. Enough to where I was going to sell excess at the farmers market.
It was all organic too, nice and healthy, and rare varieties was my niche.
Well, my parents didn’t really agree with what I was doing with my life, even my mom told me to “get a life” even though I’m the first in the family to hold a degree from a prestigious university.
Well, after awhile, my Mom and I just didn’t get a long, and she is a very mean and nasty person, so I ended up having to leave because she drove me out of there.
So I had to leave my garden and my start up business behind because of my parents drove me out.
They knew exactly what I was doing and they saw it was a success.
Now I have no garden, and I had to leave all my pounds of peppers and tomatoes etc behind just as it was fruiting.
So now, I don’t even want anything to do with my parents.
I even had a dream about just avoiding my Dad and not feeling bad for it because of what they did to me.
I met some other people my age who live on their parents property (They’re whole family lives next to each other), and he has tons of land, and his grandpa next door does too.
His family SUPPORTS him and he’s doing the same things sort of.
He offered me a small plot to garden on, but said he couldn’t get me a job or anything.
With it being so late in the season, and my parents kicking me out before I could harvest my produce, I don’t even know what to do!
I want to garden on his property, but then again, I need to make a living and avoid being homeless
Well, my friend, it comes down to want verses need. Need, in my book, is ALWAYS more important.
Dreams are great but, your very last line said it all.
