Plant Corner Update

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been giving more love to my plant corner, and it’s slowly turning into my favorite space in the room. What started with just a small spider plant and a cutting of my Monstera has now grown into a cozy collection that includes my Malabar spinach vine winding its way up a support, and even a new Persian Shield with its striking purple leaves. Each plant brings a different texture and color, and together they’ve turned this little corner into something that feels alive and soothing.

I’ve noticed that caring for plants has become more than just a hobby — it’s a grounding ritual. Wiping down leaves, adjusting their light, or just watching new growth unfurl has given me small but meaningful moments of calm. It’s funny how these green companions can teach patience and consistency in such subtle ways.

On the other side of things, I’m about to dive into a series of hackathons in the next few weeks. The energy is completely different from tending plants — instead of slow, steady growth, hackathons are all about speed, creativity, and building something exciting in a short burst of time. I’m planning to experiment with some projects that combine data, AI, and maybe even plants (because why not?).

There’s a balance in doing both. Plants remind me that growth takes time and steady care, while hackathons remind me that sometimes you just need to throw yourself into the chaos and see what blooms. Between the two, I’m hoping to not just grow a greener corner in my room, but also grow as a creator and problem solver in the tech world.

So here’s to a season of new leaves, fresh ideas, and the thrill of hackathon nights ahead.
