Buddhism 🕉️

Probably can’t change it now, but if I reincarnate maybe that means I’m meant to be a Buddhist 🧘‍♀️. I recall studying Buddhism when I was in high school and the thing that always sticks with me now is that life is suffering. Desire is the root of suffering. We have to get rid of desire to achieve nirvana. 

Now I need to find meaning in the suffering. Not sure how it’s possible to get rid of desire. And here I thought that the meaning of life was to be happy. It seems like the pursuit of happiness has only brought disappointment and suffering. Is becoming a monk the only way out? Or becoming  priest?

Your birthday month. Don’t be sad. Every day is a celebration. It’s an opportunity to enjoy, pay thanks, and strive to do better. Hear that inspiration? I’m trying to get into that mentality, but it’s also true. I’ll start dieting after tomorrow (have to have lunch with Jehan and I already bought coffee). I finished the waffle and cream puff for you as well. You’re welcome.

I don’t know why people still insist on the rehearsal dinner and the ceremony in general. They all seem so stressed out over it. Seems dumb to volunteer and do things that stress you out. I’m sorry to run up their tab, but I’m sure they would have ran up mine and they don’t mind. At least it’s probably cheaper than alcohol…

See, you can do it and want to. Just remember that feeling. Anyhow, we should probably find a better way to pack early. Not be like Tony. I started having 2 sets of toiletry items to make it a lot easier… Otherwise it’s stressful for you. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. We can do it. Safe travels tomorrow Em. ATEN!!
