Sincere communication can give a relationship new possibilities.
Clove is a spice with a vivid character, and a familiar plant in traditional herbal culture.
A girl was used to keeping her words inside her heart.
Asked what she wanted to eat, she said anything was fine; asked if she was uncomfortable, she said it was nothing.
Over time, the people around her truly came to believe she didn't mind anything at all.
Until one day, she finally said: "Actually, I have thoughts of my own."
She discovered that expressing her needs was not as difficult as she had imagined.
People who truly cherish you will not ask you to stay silent forever.
Clove reminds us: sincerity is not quarrelling, nor forcing others to accept us — it is the willingness to let each other understand more.
Speak the kindness in your heart aloud, and let good relationships grow warmer.
