Mortality – In the Physical World
For as long as I can remember I have had a very unattached mentality towards the idea of mortality. Perhaps due to the forced acceptance of loss at an early age, I have always kept a logical and unemotional view of death – for death is just a loss of the presence of someone from…

**Spoiler alert – If you are watching this series and haven’t yet finished it and don’t want to know what happens before viewing, then skip this post!** 🤷🏽♀️ Until I watched the final episode of the six-season series, This Is Us, I would have said that my favorite series of all-time is still Little House…
