definitely share specific kinships among each other. One such example is a well-known line uttered by the supporting character, Morpheus to the main character, Neo, in the hit movie, The Matrix. Morpheus said that he would show Neo, “how deep the rabbit hole goes”.

While a deer and her speckled fawn were grazing on the green grass in the field, and in the background I could hear the creek slowly running.

I don't have any children yet, so my breasts are still more aesthetic than functional. I mostly use them as a food shelf, a cellphone case, and an in-flight pillow. When I was young and single and had less self-esteem, I used to joke that my breasts were "all I had" (good one, unhappy baby self!), but now that I'm older, I don’t have to rely on them to feel beautiful—for the time being, they're just parts of me that fill my clothes and make my back hurt and, sure, make me feel pretty sometimes.
