That evening, I didn’t feel like a tired employee in a damp shop. I felt like I was exactly where I was supposed to be. I realized then that we never truly know the weight of the burdens people are carrying, or the power of a small gesture to lighten them. Kindness isn’t an investment you make hoping for a return; it’s a seed you plant because the world needs more bloom.
I eventually opened my own shop, and in the window, there is always a small vase of white roses. They aren’t for sale. They’re there as a reminder that the most valuable things we can give away are the things that don’t have a price tag at all.
