it's also good for the Dutch economy

Why do I buy flowers for myself?

1. Because men are assholes.
2. Because life is short.
3. Because it's a lot less expensive than a new Coach purse, and a lot less damaging than a case of Molson Canadian.
4. Because they remind me that life goes on.
5. Because my apartment is otherwise unremittingly tan-beige-cream without them.
6. Because I've never been able to grow anything that flowers, particularly indoors.
7. Because I like them.
