💔 It Didn’t Start With Roses, It Started With Loneliness
“I didn’t know love could look like petals, but here we are.”
It wasn’t a movie scene. No rain against a windowpane. Just a regular Tuesday in Jersey City when I felt it most, that quiet kind of loneliness that doesn’t scream, just hums in the background of everything.
Life had shifted. A relationship had ended, or maybe it had just faded, like petals left too long in a vase. My apartment felt empty, my calendar even more so. I was walking past a tiny corner flower shop when something stopped me.
A single daisy sat in a chipped vase in the window. No fanfare. No purpose. Just there. Blooming.
“That flower didn’t ask me anything. It just bloomed... and waited.”
And somehow, in that moment, I felt seen.
The Day I Bought My First Bouquet (and Didn’t Wait for Anyone to Gift It)
It was a Friday and I passed the same shop again. This time, I walked in. No reason. No occasion. Just... because. I picked a bouquet, blush ranunculus, soft pink roses and a sprig of eucalyptus.
For the first time in a long while, I gave myself something beautiful.
“I realized I didn’t need a reason to have beauty in my room.”
And that feeling, that tiny act of giving myself grace, changed everything.
When Flowers Became My Morning Ritual
The next day, I noticed something had changed. My morning didn’t start with reaching for my phone, it started with reaching for elegance.
I walked over to the bouquet, still fresh from yesterday and smiled at the bloom that had opened overnight. I didn’t rush. I didn’t scroll. I just stood there for a moment, soaking in the quiet presence of something alive.
I brewed my coffee a little slower. Let the jazz play softly through the kitchen. Lit a candle just because it felt right, even though it was only Saturday.
“They made my mornings feel like Paris, while I am still in Jersey City.”
It wasn’t just a bouquet on the counter anymore. It was a ritual. A rhythm. A private moment of calm that asked for nothing, but gave so much.
Somehow, that small glass vase turned my kitchen into a kind of sanctuary, where something beautiful was always waiting to say good morning.
Flowers Never Ghost You
People ghost. Plans fall through. Love sometimes feels like a guessing game. But flowers?
They show up. They open. They don’t lie.”
Each stem, each petal, was dependable. Gentle. Honest.
They didn’t ask for much, just a little care. And in return, they gave me calm. Consistency. Color. I didn’t have to overthink what they meant or wonder if they’d stay.
In a world full of noise and shifting stories, they were quite certain. My quiet joy.
When I Started a Flower Subscription
It was just another quiet evening in Jersey City. My phone hadn’t buzzed all day. The sunlight on my kitchen counter felt a little dull.
I wasn’t sad exactly. Just missing something I couldn’t name. And that’s when I saw it.
A flower bouquet delivered to my neighbor’s door. Wrapped in soft, sustainable paper, a little handwritten note peeking out. The scent of garden roses, peonies and freesia lingered in the hallway.
She smiled and looked at me and said, “It’s part of my monthly flower subscription.”
Something about that word stayed with me, subscription. Like beauty wasn’t just a one-time thing. It could be a habit. I asked her about the florist and she told me about Monsoon Flowers.

The First Time I Ordered a Flower Subscription from Monsoon Flowers
That night, I visited the Monsoon Flowers website. Everything about it felt thoughtful. The textures, the tones, the way each flower looked placed with care, not thrown together. It wasn’t just a florist. It was... romantic.
I signed up for a 6-months plan, a signature flower subscription that promised seasonal, fresh flowers delivered once a month, arranged by expert florists. No arranging needed. No guessing what to buy. Just open the box, place them and breathe in the calm.
“When my first bouquet arrived, I didn’t need to trim stems or style them, they were already perfect, like a love letter written in petals.”
I placed them on my windowsill. My whole apartment changed. Not just visually, but emotionally. I started making tea just to sit beside them. My mornings slowed down. My heart softened.
Every Bloom Taught Me Something About Myself
Somewhere between month one and month 4, I realized I was learning from them.
Roses taught me that softness isn’t weakness.
Peonies reminded me that things take time, but beauty always unfolds.
Wildflowers whispered that chaos can still be stunning.
Orchids taught me patience.
Sunflowers alignment. Always turning to the light.
“Flowers weren’t just decorations. They were little mirrors. Teaching me how to be.”
Now, I Don’t Just Live, I Bloom
It’s funny how something so small, delicate petals, quiet colors, can change how you see yourself.
Fresh flowers reminded me of softness, yes. But also of strength.
Of showing up. Of blooming through anything.
“I don’t know if I found love again. But I found something deeper, myself in full bloom.”
My space feels warm now. My mornings feel intentional. And I walk a little lighter, knowing beauty is always within reach.
