afterlife

What happens when people die? Some people around me say “people die and become nothing.” But I just don't think so. Certainly, when you die, it will lose its shape, but I don't think the soul will go away. I'm sure they will continue to live in an invisible form. Is that just a desire?...

You can't be happy unless you're beautiful, so what should you do about being clumsy

I hate my face and it's irresistible. The forehead is wide, the eyes are narrow, and the nose is low, and it doesn't change even if there are no products and makeup does not change (only people with good roots change with makeup) Because of that, people have always hated me. Once upon a time,...
