sunshine_challenge | Sunshine 2023: Prompt Seven

Check out the Master List to find links to all of the 2023 challenge posts. Remember that there is no official deadline, so feel free to join in at any time or go back and do any prompts you've missed!

If you are inspired to answer with art, vid, or other media, we’d love for you to share what you created. If you create any fanworks, feel free to add them to our AO3 Collection.

Prompt 7: Zinnia
While Zinnia has many different meanings, it is usually associated with friendship, endurance, daily remembrance, goodness, and lasting affection. The Victorian meaning of Zinnia are thoughts of an absent friend or a friend you haven't seen in a while.

Bonus Prompt: Red Rose

Please feel free to respond in whichever way comes naturally to you, be it thoughts that you share or a work that you create. If you’d like a more specific idea to kick things off: share a letter written to your younger self about things you’ve learned that relate to the Zinnia theme.

Once you’ve finished, leave a comment to this post saying you’ve done it! Include a link to your pages if you feel comfortable doing so and let everyone know if you are "Ready for visitors!" Most importantly, please check through the comments and go visit new journals, comment on their shiny posts, and maybe make a new friend or two. ♥

I have just realised I didn't answer this one. The bonus prompt inspired me to talk about a new-ish favourite album of mine, Once Upon A Time... In Space by The Mechanisms which I ramble about https://badfalcon.dreamwidth.org/1751739.html
