There has been a recent trend on TikTok on which people talk about their fig tree – all the things and people they hope to be – and it has caught my eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before this trend started, I was reading \u201cThe Bell Jar\u201d, where the reference of a fig tree is talked about in Sylvia Plath\u2019s book. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the book she says \u201cI saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story. From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I first read this, I was stunned and knew she understood my thoughts even though she didn\u2019t write this book for me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I started to realize I was always thinking about my fig tree before I even knew what to call it. To me, I think we can do and be anything we want, because who is going to tell us otherwise? I want to do everything and when I found out that I could, nothing was going to stop me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
People need to realize you can be whatever is on your fig tree. You just have to actually want to do it and you have to start somewhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It may go unnoticed, it may take long, it might just be a hobby, but every branch you have can become true. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I want to be a writer, a model, a photographer, a director, an artist, a bookstore owner, and a teacher. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is all on my fig tree and I can make all of them come to life because they are already a part of me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If there is something on your fig tree that you want to come true, just do it. Make it happen and once you start, just keep going. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
