Quit your job and open a little shop - they say every girl has this dream

They say every girl wants to quit her job and open a little shop like this. Only smell the flowers, talk not of sorrow or joy, drink tea and read books, not racing against time. Let the sunshine be a little warmer, a little warmer still; let the days be a little slower, a little slower still. Time is short, the world is far away. From now on, every mountain and every river, every morning and every evening, walk through them quietly to the end.

Open a flower shop, fill it with colorful flowers, each one so delicate and lovely it stirs the heart. Tie on an apron, trim and prune every day, the fragrance of flowers refreshing to the soul - even your dreams must be sweet.

The flower fields are lush, the paths ablaze with beauty. Melt the fragrance of flowers into the window of the soul, and through the wordless cycle of the four seasons as flowers fade and bloom, pour out a heart of true feeling and warmth. Carefully wrap every bouquet - each bloom is a love of life.

Open a coffee shop, quietly brewing coffee, listening to passersby tell their stories. A cup of coffee, from steaming hot to cooled, from boiling to calm, carries a flavor that captivates the heart; the bitter scent of coffee beans in the air is the most nostalgic, the hardest to let go. Hold the coffee tightly in your hand, watch the changing clouds outside the window, and your heart is calm as water.

Soft lighting brings on a wave of drowsiness; find a seat by the window and watch your busy figure. No need for great wealth or high status, only for a peaceful life. You are there whether my eyes are open or closed - this is the future I want most.

On a not-too-busy afternoon, spend the whole time with a cup of coffee and a dessert. Life is just like this - sometimes bitter, sometimes sweet, and only contentment brings lasting joy. May you eat greedily and never grow fat, may your deep affection never be betrayed, may you always be lucky. May you work hard all your life, and be loved all your life.

Open a bookstore, a quiet shop where all you can hear is the rustle of turning pages. Even if time grows old, your temperament today holds the roads you have walked, the books you have read and the people you have loved. Slow down once in a while, and let your soul catch up with the rhythm.

The people and things around us are mostly uncertain; you can never know whether what you have this moment will still exist the next. Some people are happy on a sunny day and dejected on a rainy one, their moods moved by the outside world, their happiness dependent on others' feelings. A shelf full of books is enough to comfort the soul - in others' stories you come to understand your own life.

Open a bakery, bake all kinds of bread, make all kinds of cakes, display them in fine vessels, light them with soft lighting, and smile as you say hello and goodbye to every customer.

Use the best ingredients to bake the most beautiful desserts; the scent of butter is like the feeling of falling in love, and every breath is happiness. The children waiting at the street corner for the bread to come out of the oven are just like us waiting for love - cautious and full of hope at the same time.

Make a limited batch each day according to your mood; in leisurely moments drink a cup of hot tea, make delicate cakes for your beloved and your children, give a little food to those who are hungry - that is enough.

The long years teach us that life holds far too many futures we cannot see clearly. The only thing we can do is spend our limited time on beautiful and meaningful things. The rest of life is too long - we will meet too many people, have too many experiences. In the days to come, I want to open a little shop like this, with a calm heart, in a simple little house, day after day, living slowly.
