I dreamt of my Aussie grandparents.
???
My Aussie Grandmother was encouraging me to “stay in a team” — like you can go further as a team. It’s hard trying to do it all on your own.
Is this about your group assignments?
Yeah…
R u enjoying it?
Lol… enjoy is definitely not the word babe…
Hmmm…
Also in the dream I visited their house.
Aussie grandparents?
Yeah. I forgot how it felt as a child to go visit. I loved it. Visiting their house was more like “visiting grandma’s house” than my real Taiwanese grandparents.
U mean a westernised movie portrayal of “visiting grandma’s house”
Yes.
Well I’m happy for u that u got that experience in ur childhood babe…
Looking back on it now, I feel like they softened the edges of an immigrant childhood experience.
How so?
I don’t know…
There would be an immediate sense of safety stepping through into their home. They were so warm and welcoming. She would literally be baking cookies ๐ช
She was very homely and lovely.
She had so many plants ๐ชด
You had to walk thru a sea of green at the front to get to the actual door of the house. And the fresh plant smells I think it changed my brain chemistry whenever I walked through? Instant dopamine? Or something like it?
Even my parents always commented, “it smells so lovely to walk through” — some blooming flowers at times too. I don’t know how else to explain it. It was a normal suburban home in a very normal Aussie suburb. But she collected sooooooo many pot plants ๐ชด
It was very impressive to walk through it. A beautiful garden experience.
Awww… that sounds lovely babe…
Mmmmm… I guess I feel like we don’t see that as much in modern homes. People can’t be bothered maintaining that many plants? I don’t know…
Do u want a lot of plants?
Sigh… I am not very good at it.
We’ll hire a plant person. If you want plants we can get lots of plants and hire someone to come by every week to take care of them.
That would be really lovely. Yes I would love that my dearest ๐ฅนโค๏ธ
