Hi Blog,
July always makes me reflect more deeply—maybe because it's my birthday month. Another year older, and I wonder, have I grown? Not just in age, but in how I carry myself through life? Birthdays used to feel like quiet reminders of my limits, but now I’m starting to see them as gentle invitations to check in with myself.

| Looking back, I realise that self-growth doesn’t always look like big achievements. Sometimes, it’s simply learning to be softer with myself. |
I’ve spent years criticising my own actions, trying to meet some imagined standard. But this year, I hope and want to shift from self-blame to self-trust—to honour how far I’ve come, even if it’s invisible to others. This birthday, I won’t make loud promises or resolutions. I’ll just choose to be present. Growth is not about being perfect; it’s about being patient. And if I can offer that patience to myself, maybe that’s the real gift of turning a year older.

| 2nd Jul 2025 - Today's afternoon was stormy, which I thought was ideal because it would clear up by the evening after I finished work, allowing me to go for a quick swim. What do you know... I did not bring my camera! Oh my! I misplaced my camera. Oh well, luckily today's swim was crowded, so I will not feel too bad. |

| 5th Jul 2025 - I have decided to sell my gorgeous Nepenthes truncata x edwardsiana... This prompted me to start my 24/7 air conditioning system with a grow tent setup so that it could grow properly. I am glad it is growing well, but my grow tent height is limited (only 35cm) because I have to place it horizontally due to space constraints... One buyer offered to trade with me for another expensive nepenthes. I guess I should let it go. I honestly asked myself... I will not miss it because... I was a little disappointed because I expected a toothy hybrid, but the exchange and receiving a beautiful nepenthes, which I will reveal next time, was a great deal. |
More to come.
Jeff
