Learned about:
• the philosophy that something created nothing for everything/something to come from aka Tzimtzum (like how clear thoughts come from an empty mind)
• Sinnerman by Nina Simone
Fun quote: “God made everything out of nothing, but the nothingness shows through.”
I love Lemony Snicket

“Telling yourself that something does not matter is one of the loneliest things you can do, because you only say it, of course, about things that matter very much. But often, and this is the lonely part, they only matter to you.”

I love the way he describes loving water. Especially comparing the water in the sun to “all a case of knives”

I love his little paradoxes and his musings on journeys and apologies. Especially,
“Every single thing I ought to have apologized for, and didn’t, is like a book lying open and unfinished.”
and he’s so right
