𝑾𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒐𝒇 𝑾𝒂𝒊𝒍 ( දුක් ගන්නා රාළ ): July 2024

EVERY MAN SHOULD HAVE…

• enough money within his control to move out and rent a place of his own even if he never wants to or needs to…

• something sharp to wear if the employer or partner of his dreams wants to see him in an hour…

• a past he's content to leave behind…

• a history rich enough that he's looking forward to retelling it in his old age…

• a toolkit with a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a sharp suit…

• one friend who always makes him laugh...

• and one who lets him cry…

• a good piece of furniture that he chose for himself…

• eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems, and a recipe for a meal that will impress his guests…

• a feeling of control over his destiny...

EVERY MAN SHOULD KNOW…

• how to fall in love without losing yourself...

• how to quit a job, break up with a partner, and confront a friend without ruining the friendship…

• when to try harder...

• and WHEN TO WALK AWAY…

• that he can't change the length of his legs, the breadth of his shoulders, or the nature of his parents…

• that his childhood may not have been perfect... but it's over…

• what he would and wouldn't do for love or more…

• how to live alone... even if he doesn't like it…

• whom he can trust and can't, and why he shouldn't take it personally…

• where to go... be it to his best friend's garage... or a cabin in the mountains... when his soul needs soothing…

• what he can and can't accomplish in a day... a month... and a year…
