For the past year, maybe two, l’ve been really struggling.

I had difficulties with mental health, addiction for sometime. But I could cope - I was functioning. 

Three years ago I was at my peak as a bonsai content creator. Short form videos were going viral, longer videos were doing fantastic.
Then, like the straw that broke the camels back, one relatively small thing went wrong. It all snowballed out of control.

I’ve been in some pretty f*cking low spots over the years. And this is one of the lowest.

But, I feel like maybe I just started to see the merest hint of a bounce off of the bottom of this pit?

I just watched one of my own videos (I NEVER do that!) from a few years ago. I can see clearly what is going wrong lately, what has been missing. I feel like after the longest time down here I might just be able to dig my way back up.

I hope so 🤞

Large hawthorn in a special edition Erin pot. Big tree but potential to air layer the top off, and to create a more powerful shorter tree with the bottom. Due to size and weight collection only from Worcestershire, UK
