The Chosen Netflix series

rsa101 @rsa101 (39897) • Philippines 18 Aug

rsa101 @rsa101 (39897) • Philippines 16 Aug

I was enjoying my day today, after breakfast, while relaxing in bed alone. My mouth feels like it's salivating and tastes salty. Then, after observing them, I felt like vomiting. I went to our bathroom in case anything happened....

rsa101 @rsa101 (39897) • Philippines 30 Jul

Mixing ideologies

rsa101 @rsa101 (39897) • Philippines 25 Jul

I was raised Christian, and those values are still part of who I am — faith, forgiveness, hope. But now that I’ve been learning about Buddhism, I’ve found a different kind of peace. It doesn’t conflict with my past beliefs,...
