You deserve some sweetness that requires no effort at all.
Licorice is a very familiar presence in Chinese herbal formulas, often described as the one that harmonizes.
One day, a girl ordered an unsweetened latte at a café.
Her friend asked: "Why no sweet drink today?"
She smiled: "Because today, I've already been sweet enough to myself."
Lately, she had been practicing not being so hard on herself.
Make a mistake, and she no longer scolded herself all day; unfinished work — she was willing to rest first, then plan again.
The name "licorice" brings sweetness to mind.
Life is much the same: not every day must chase perfection — sometimes, just a little sweetness is enough to make the days adorable.
Accept good things gladly, and good things become worth expecting.
