been thinking a lot lately about the story of narcissus and whether or not it's more of a blessing or a curse to eventually become so abundant that you are considered plain or mundane. thinkin about daffodils
#like ok just. my entire life i grew up with daffodils EVERYWHERE around me#and pretty much everyone i knew thought they were boring flowers because of how everywhere they are#and like. in school we analyzed the story of Narcissus a LOT#like i swear we went over the same 5 classic myths and well-known stories over and over again#i've literally read romeo and juliet three times#and narcissus was like the Only greek myth we read about but I've written at least two analysis papers on it#and honestly the story annoyed me simply because of how often i heard it#and i wonder sometimes how Narcissus would feel about that#to be so well known and so widely loved for so long that eventually you become mundane#or even so frequent you're annoying#i didn't know until like probably a year ago that narcissus flowers and daffodils are the same thing#not once did i ever connect the two things#it's weird. and i think about it a lot. the vainest man to live and the plainest flower i see
