Do you know why I love Buddhism it's because it centers its core principle on detachment.
We live in a world defined by loss — everything we possess, hold dear, or love will eventually slip through our fingers. Nothing here truly belongs to us; it’s all ephemeral.

Let’s be honest— not everyone has a child out of love. Some do it for status, pressure, or to feel complete. But a child isn’t a cure, plan, or validation. Bringing a soul into this world should be selfless, not selfish. If you’re not ready to give love and stability, maybe you need healing.

Sometimes I feel like my mind is its own vast house…
and I’m just a neighbour living inside it, watching how it moves, how it rules,
as though I’m not the landlord — just the witness.

Finally watched The Godfather after years of calling it boring. I’d always quit halfway, missing the “gold” everyone saw. But adulthood changes your eyes — now I see it. A timeless classic. No movie, in my opinion, comes close.
