Freddie Mercury once told Mary Austin in his will, “If things had been different, you would have been my wife, and this would have been yours anyway.” It was his way of acknowledging a bond that had shaped his entire life.
Mary first met Freddie in 1970, when she was a 19-year-old art student. They moved in together before fame ever entered the picture. Their romantic relationship ended when Freddie came to understand his sexuality, but the depth of their connection never faded. “Our love affair ended in tears,” Freddie admitted, “but out of that grew a bond no one can ever take away. It’s unreachable. All my lovers ask why they can’t replace her, but it’s simply impossible.”
When Freddie died in 1991, he left Mary half of all future earnings. His parents received 25%, and his sister the remaining 25%. After his parents passed, Mary’s share rose to 75%. He also left her his 28-room West London mansion—worth $37 million—as well as most of his $17 million fortune, including his art collection and Louis XV furnishings.
Perhaps the most intimate of all: Mary became the guardian of Freddie’s ashes. After his cremation, she quietly scattered them in a place only she knows. She has never revealed the location, ensuring that Freddie’s final resting place remains a secret forever.
There is something deeply poetic about that.
Love isn’t strictly romantic, physical, or defined by gender. True love often exists outside those boundaries.
What Freddie and Mary shared was that kind of love. They began as friends, became lovers, and ultimately remained soul-deep companions whose connection endured through every heartbreak, every triumph, and every chapter of their lives. Their love was built on trust, history, and an affection that felt almost otherworldly—proof that friendship can be one of the purest forms of love there is.

26 Tiny Lessons from my conversation with @morganhousel
1. “Wealth is what you have minus what you want.”
2. "Money buys fewer bad days, not more great days."
3. “It's really good to have people in your life who you don't want to disappoint."
4. Luxury quickly becomes a necessity.
5. Saving money is buying freedom.
6. Excellence is the capacity to take pain.
7. Optimize for sleeping at night, not maximising a spreadsheet.
8. Contrast drives happiness, not absolute levels.
9. Nobody is paying attention to you. Stop trying to impress strangers.
10. “If I can be average for 50 years, I’ll end up in the top 3% of investors.”
11. “99% of Warren Buffett’s net worth was accumulated after his 65th birthday. That’s just how compounding works.”
12. “Every dollar you save is a step toward that independence.”
13. Remember there was a time when you wanted what you have now.
14. “Nothing is more damaging to your investing psychology than getting rich quick when you're young.”
15. Passive income is largely an illusion.
16. Your social network sets your expectations.
17. All the time you spend thinking about things you don’t control comes at the expense of things you do control.
18. Give your kids money when they need it—in their 30s—not when they're 75 after you die.
19. “Loyalty to people who deserve it is one of the most rewarding things in life."
20. “Independence is a spectrum. Even $100 in the bank beats zero.”
21. “Rich-people food looks better than it tastes. Poor-people food tastes better than it looks.”
22. “No generation handles their 20s with grace. That's why every older generation criticizes the young.”
23. Simple scales, fancy fails: “The simpler my finances, the higher the odds I can leave them alone for 50 years.”
24. “We underestimate the odds of bad things happening. If we didn't, we couldn't get out of bed.”
25. Very few people can beat the market.
26. The biggest financial mistake you'll make has nothing to do with money.

Lagi kes rogol berkumpulan di sekolah.Bukan sekolah saja yang kena memastikan keselamatan anak-anak kita, tapi Allah nak tunjuk betapa lalainya mak ayah sekarang mendidik dan memantau anak-anak.Hp menjadi “guru” mereka.

Update from what is believed to be the LAST boat STILL SAILING to Gaza from the Sumud Flotilla: The Marinette-SAFAD.

@FaktaBukanAuta Sedihnya. Anak-anak memang akan menjadi ujian kita semua. Jaga keberkatan rezeki kita semua, moga anak anak kita terlindung dari perkara yang haram dan maksiat. Amin
Kita semua pernah melakukan kesilapan.
Tapi sampai bila kita terus buat silap?
-Sampai bila kita tak jaga solat?
Solat akhir waktu.
Solat tak khusyuk,terburu-buru.
Solat yang akhirnya seperti kain buruk yang dilempar Allah semula ke bumi?
Tidak diterima Allah, tidak memberi kita ketenangan
-Sampai bila kita tak tutup aurat?
Bentuk dada dan punggung kelihatan dengan jelas.
Memakai tudung , tapi pakai baju dan seluar ketat menampakkan bentuk tubuh?
Sebagai ayah dan ibu pula seolah-olah buta dan terus membiarkan anak ingkar dengan arahan Tuhan.
-Sampai bila kita tak jalankan tanggungjawab kita sebaik-baiknya?
Ibu ayah, pasangan dan anak-anak kita , adakah mereka selalu menjadi keutamaan kita?
-Kita hamba Dunia ini atau hamba Allah?
Kita hamba Kerja dan Duit atau hamba Allah?
Adalah kita hamba nafsu atau keinginan yang tak berkesudahan?
-Moga kita semua sempat memperbaiki diri.
Bertaubat. Bertaubat dan bertaubat setiap kali melakukan kesilapan.
Jangan pernah rasa Jahat.
Keampunan Allah lebih besar daripada KemurkaanNya.
-Ya Allah jadikanlah kami hambaMu yang
Beriman dan Bertaqwa..
Yang suka beramal soleh tanpa jemu.
Seolah-olah kami akan terus bertemu denganMu, Yang Maha Pemurah lagi Maha Penyayang…
[Ghafir:2-3]
تَنزِيلُ الْكِتَابِ مِنَ اللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْعَلِيمِ
غَافِرِ الذَّنبِ وَقَابِلِ التَّوْبِ شَدِيدِ الْعِقَابِ ذِي الطَّوْلِ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ إِلَيْهِ الْمَصِيرُ
Turunnya Al-Quran ini dari Allah Yang Maha Kuasa, lagi Maha Mengetahui;
Yang Mengampunkan dosa, dan Yang Menerima taubat; Yang Berat azabNya; Yang Melimpah-limpah kurniaNya; tiada Tuhan melainkan Dia; kepadaNyalah tempat kembali.

A global campaign titled: "Either you stand by the slogan 'Free Palestine, or we can't be friends - do as you wish."
The Israeli occupation is attempting to classify the slogan
"Free Palestine" as a "terrorist slogan" to deter activists from using it, but they have failed in the face of Palestine's sweeping global support.
Share it with your friends.
حملة عالمية بعنوان: "إما أن تكون بجانب شعار فل سطين حرة، أو لن
نكون أصدقاء، أفعل ما تريد".
" شعارًا إره ابدً
لالردع الشطاء عن استخدامه لكنهم فشلوا أمام اكتساح فلسطين للعالم
