how to make ugly pressed flowers

[start]

you must rip your flower to pieces.

seperate your petals

examine the petals, do not discard.

discard not the broken and damaged

nor the dark and ugly

leave the tear-stained, pain-soaked broken damaged dark ugly petals

out in the sun to dry

time will not fly by

nor slow down but rather stay exactly the same

always

long days short nights nights longer days shorter and do not discard your broken petals

but rather slip them into your favourite journal and write i love you next to every one

you need to close the journal and leave it on your shelf for at least 3 months 6 months 1 year 6 years and your pieces

will be exactly the same.

Broken damaged ugly but

no longer tear stained.

no longer pain soaked.

Frozen in time pressed petal flowers remember to look at your petals every once in a while

Forget not the petals in the journal.

Forget not the time they spent in the journal.

Forget not the ugly petals.
