Why using flower profile picture?

Mostly I’ve use a flower image for my profile picture on the internet. Flowers are beautiful when they bloom, but they don’t last forever. Maybe a day, a month, or two, and then… Flowers always remind me of the world/my life. Sometimes they look beautiful, but they don’t last forever. Flowers always remind me to prepare for the next life when I’m no longer in this world.
May Allah always guide us on the right path, AAMIIN.
