Monks? Useless
Ryushin? Modern Day Buddha
A documentary for a very small subgroup of third culture kids that were raised Muslim but then chucked across the sea away from family onto a new land where they built their own boats to survive. This hit close to home. The estrangement, the internal fracture of who you were supposed to be versus who you ended up becoming will always hurt and you internalize that as part your identity. Your life is not for others to understand, just for you to live.
It took me a long time to figure out that home is not where you’re from but where you’re wanted.
I am at peace with my contradictions. I’ll see you in hell I guess.
