What's a Flower Person?

A "flower person", as a personal metaphor of mine, is an individual who survived mandatory history classes but didn't actually learn much about historical scholarship. They bloomed, and they're beautiful as all people can be, but their stems are of varying levels of toughness. Are their stems enough to keep them standing, just as society wanted them to be? For a number of them, sure, but others, not so much. Some of these individuals grew large flowers of historical knowledge, but they lack understanding on how to apply that knowledge to everyday tasks. They never learned about the cultural and social aspects that led to those dates they memorized. They were taught that all history is about is memorizing when and what happened in the past. As far as I know, that isn't what historical study is about, and it isn't why studying history is important.

A "flower person", as I was, many years ago when I was determined to be a science major --- despite finding the sciences too easy and, while intriguing to a point, growing increasingly lackadaisical in my studies --- might think that there is no point in teaching or studying history. They might believe the historical field is like a fish on a dock, or one trapping amongst an oil pond, practically swimming dead in the water. 'Studying the past to not make the same mistakes in the future' is a wonderful idea, but the concept seems flimsy and unimportant compared to high-education, high-pay, and high-exhausting areas like neuroscience, nuclear physics, or general surgeon-ing.

A "flower person", as I like to call it, has a pretty, intelligent head, but lacks an in-depth understanding of what makes the historical field so important. And, frankly, what makes scholarship and academic study in general so important. A "flower person" never thought to study or examine what they learned so tortuously in common education deeply enough to grow into a tree with wide-reaching roots that can sustain itself for generations to come. For most of these "flower people", they never had a chance to.

To put this in more simple terms, as this is a blog for the common, everyday joe who doesn't have time nor care to read a bunch of flowery language --- (did ya get the pun there?) --- as so many people like to say, common education has failed you. In so many ways. And this blog is about why historical study is actually important. And how. And if you don't really agree with that or just stopped by because you like history in general, there's some fun facts and discussions of scholarly topics too. Mostly in layman's terms. Because it gets really tiring writing concisely and like I know what I'm talking about when sometimes no one knows what we're talking about and we're just trying to make things work with the information we have.

So yeah. Hi! And welcome to the historical garden for all of those "flower people" out there. So happy to meet other people like me, and hopefully we can all grow as individuals through the study of history together : )

🎐send message to kris : hm, does FMN's behavior seem changed at all?

Kris looks across the table.

FMN seems as clueless and spacey as ever.

"So, why are you here anyways, Lightners?" Lord Damascena asks.

Mettaton fiddles with his tea cup. "Oh... I'm not sure! I just woke up here, and then... we wandered around until we found your son."

"Son?" Lord Damascena blinks. "Son?"

"... Forget Me Not?"

"... Ae is not related to me, ae's a completely different kind of flower."

Mettaton turns up his nose. "Sorry I don't know flowerpeople biology."

"Apology accepted." Ey say warmly. Mettaton scowls.

flower people

Pick them

Choose them, love them,

Modify them for your custom creations.

All for you, all for you.

Daisies with wilted petals

Roses with tattered stems.

I’m slowly dying inside

All because you didn’t pick me.

You picked the warm chrysanthemum

That shimmers in the light

When I’m gazing at you pick it,

A lively beautiful flower that’s alive and well.

Not the crusty flower that has more to offer,

Than life itself.

北インドのダーという村に住む花の民の刺繍を、オーダーメイドで制作させていただきました。 チベットの村々に囲まれたダー村は他の村とは少し民族が違い風習も異なるという、 ヒマラヤ山脈にぽつりと取り残された不思議な村なのだそうです。 花の民は、10年くらい前までは、 花輪を作るためわざわざ花を育て、毎日花輪をつくり、日中ずっと花輪をしていたそうです。 ・ わたしもいつかダー村に行ってみたいです。 ・ ・ I made custom-made embroidery of flower people living in village called Dah in North India. Da village surrounded by Tibetan villages says that ethnic differences are different and customs are different, It seems that it is a mysterious village completely left behind in the Himalayas. Flower people, until about ten years ago, It bothers to bother to make wreaths, growing flowers, making garlands every day, she seems to have been wearing garlands throughout the day. ・ I'd also like to visit Da village someday. ・ #embroidery #da #davillage #flowerpeople #flower #india #northindia #sawakoninomiya https://www.instagram.com/p/Brad4mhH-05/?igshid=mu4hempl2fc6
