Your story is amazing. Actually, I think your writing is Zen. I always think about this type of things but I can’t express my process much. Your writing made me feel “Yes! そうそう！そのとおり。”
Buddhism talks about how we are constantly reborn. Every moment, every minute, every second, we are not the same.
I totally agree with this.
I'm glad you enjoyed and feel the same way 😃
