These short lines came to me today when my dear coworker received a bouquet of flowers in the office from a guy who is trying to win her back. It made me think of all the men out there that think flowers fix everything and I wanted to share some knowledge with them.

Flowers should not say “I’m sorry”.

Flowers should say “I appreciate you, you make me smile and I want to therefore make you smile today”.

Flowers shouldn’t be band-aids.

Flowers should make you smile, not cause your heart to twist and sink.

Dear men, don’t let flowers be the last resort. 

At least they’re pretty, right?
