So I asked my mom and we discussed different options. Basil and sage seem to be the best ones to start out with. Basil is one that you may need to spore and replant after harvesting but is other than that relatively simple to care for. Sage doesn't like too much water so be careful about how much you water it. Like every plant, you will need to make sure that the flower pots that you grow them in are well drained.

Most of em are easy to care for and fresh herbs really take your meals to a new level vs dried. You can literally buy little plants at a ton of grocery stories. you’ll probably wanna repot them in a bigger one when you take them home so they grow more. basil and some types of oregano and sage look really pretty too.

MAXIMIZE YOUR PLANTS. Cut a stem, put it in water, replant, now you have double triple maximum plants. Keep one inside in a pot for the winter, repeat the process and have herbs galore: basil, rosemary, nasturtium. Works for most houseplants too.

The plant that got me into plants was a snake plant. before having a snake plant i used to kill my succulents because i overwatered them. snake plants taught me that it's ok to leave some plants without watering. the original snake plant gave me two baby plants and only needed water once a month! every plant is different and it's important to realize that very few plants need water daily!

Whether you need inspo, are curious about the discourse over the last few decades, want to get into a new hobby or whatever else, you can download open source magazine issues from decades past. They have magazines from as early as the early 1900s too! I have been obsessed with old video games lately so I have been looking at the old club nintendo magazines and it has been so fun. Like look at some of the covers these magazines used to have

There is something about seeing someone be unconscious about something that they really love. The sincerity of it, the way they forget to be quiet if its in public, the way they gesture with their hands more. Its great 10/10 would recommend being passionate about your interests!

This might be a strange solution but it may help: when you see something thats not a garment that you consider beautiful for whatever reason, photograph it and then use your wardrobe to try and capture that energy.
For example, I go on a lot of nature walks and something that happens a lot on my walks is that I'll see a lot of beautiful colours that I often don't see worn together, blends of textures like where the leaves of a tree meet the sky etc and so I try to capture that. Like that's how I realised that I love the colour combination of orange and grey.
To help I may then look through old magazines and cut out images to make scrapbook pages of inspiration, or if I have the influence of a particular era in mind to express the look I may look at stills of films from that decade (that's another way you can use pinterest that's not so algo heavy).
Then you just try stuff on and see how you feel, what you like about your attempts what you don't like etc. Ultimately imo the easiest way to avoid relying on algorithms for fashion inspiration is to take inspiration from things other than clothes and to practice translating the aesthetic principles into garments.
Do you like that one brutalist style building with hedges of wild flowers near the place you work? How do you express it in an outfit. Do you keep looking at the sheen of an apple before you bite into it? What fabrics might have a similar effect?
And then use the clothes that you have to try things and edit/style your looks until you get to things you like wearing.
