You can have your own stand, and still keep your gentleness.
Andrographis is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb, known for its pronounced bitterness.
Its name brings to mind piercing through and standing firm — a reminder not to easily forget the things we truly value.
A girl used to work very hard to please everyone.
Whatever others liked, she liked along with them; whatever others expected her to become, she did her best to match.
Until one day, she realized it had been a long time since she had asked, 'What do I like?'
So she began to rearrange her life.
She saved her time for friends she truly liked, wore clothes she loved, and did the things she believed were worthwhile.
She found that the clearer she became about herself, the freer her heart grew.
Connected wholeheartedly to beautiful things — may good company, good moods, and good opportunities arrive one after another.
