We should all be more like the titan arum plant, making everyone wait until we are ready to bloom. Letting our scents fill the air, with no regard to whether others find it pleasant or not. Being so very clearly sexual and giving no apology for that. Having lines and lines and lines of people waiting to say hello, and to be internet famous for 48 hours. Retreating back into our shell when we damn well please.
