Most people are busy hustling from point A to point B without thinking about how they could add a little joy wherever they go.

The person in this story is not one of those people.

They have come up with a creative and easy to replicate way to add a little surprise in unexpected places.

Let’s read all the details.

I leave sunflower seeds in random cracks and corners. I’ve been doing it for years.

Wherever I go city streets, hiking trails, alleyways I drop a few sunflower seeds.

Sidewalk edges, forgotten planters, even a chipped corner of concrete near a parking lot.

No big mission, no deeper meaning.

It just feels good to imagine a burst of yellow surprising someone months later.

It’s the idea of making someone notice something unexpected.

I’ve seen a few pop up in odd places.

I don’t stick around long enough to see if they bloom, but the thought of someone stumbling upon a sunflower where there shouldn’t be one? That’s enough.

It’s my small way of saying: something unexpected can still grow.

Till next wander scatter joy, grow wild.

That’s such a unique way to spread a little surprise in unexpected places.

Let’s see what Reddit thought of this idea.
