  1. Premonition of doom.
    “What’s your name?”
    “Lloyd, sir.”

    OMG that was the name of the bartender in The Shining. This isn’t going to end well.

  2. Wow, this post really hits home! I love how “In Due Time” captures the struggle of balancing our ambitions and the expectations from our families. It’s such a relatable experience for many of us, especially in the sandwich generation, juggling our careers while still supporting our parents. The way you depicted the character’s journey of self-discovery and patience was on point; it really resonates with the whole “slow and steady wins the race” vibe we often hear.

    So, here’s my question: Do you think our generation is putting too much pressure on ourselves to achieve success before a certain age? I ask this because, in today’s world, with social media showing everyone’s highlight reels, it can feel like we’re constantly racing against the clock. It makes me wonder if we’re forgetting that life isn’t a sprint but more like a marathon. What do you think?
