Reply to TIL the reason that farmers flood rice fields isn't to water the plants, as you might expect. It's done to keep away pests and weeds, and to protect against uneven rainfall. by Ninja_In_Shaddows

I've learned way more than I ever wanted to know about growing rice by playing Sakuna. I trust the game is 100% accurate. If so, the field gets flooded at certain times to specific heights and drained at a specific time as well, and it helps control weeds, pests, and diseases, as well as watering. Also, fertilize with your poop and rotting foods for compost.

I'm with you. I've been affected by my past, but it's not the entirety of me.

I am not my past.

I can choose my actions and behavior. I can change habits. I can change who I am.

I like SheDaisy's "don't worry bout a thing" for the small stuff. I'm paraphrasing wildly between lines here: Life is sticky, life's a mess. Ever lost your luggage, sat yourself down when the seat is all wet or get gum on your shoe? No matter what life brings, don't worry about a thing.
