You're laughing

I feel so stupid for falling for such a stupid trick - the oldest trick in the book, yet angrier that someone I think of as a friend would manipulate me like that...

I dreamt I was walking alone, talking to everyone I met, but keeping a safe distance. Why? Because attachments are illusions, and each life lasts only as long as a thought.

In that dream, I was neither happy nor sad. I just was. It was a very peaceful dream.

Which goes to show - nobody can bring you happiness but yourself. It's all in the mind, and there's no mind you can know but your own.
