Bond....I should add, I really like plants. I have a corn plant, a snake plant, a variety of cacti, and a few other plants just in my dorm. I get great joy watching my plants grow and taking care of them (although my OCD makes me over water sometimes
). When I have my own house I look forward to landscaping my outside and I will have a greenhouse and a ton of plants inside my house. I feel connected to the natural world and really like green in my day-to-day environment. You can get plants for cheap, many of them are easy to upkeep (like a cactus or low-light house plant), and they provide a natural connection in contrast to what I assume is your sterile interior.
