All our problems arise from the fact that we seek for permanent things in a Temporary Universe.

Reminds me of The Office when Andy Bernard says, “I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you’ve actually left them.”

Love all of these references and love nostalgia. My favorite part of nostalgia is that we get to add colors, bells and whistles. It gives us the power to look back at something that was potentially unpleasant, and make it so pretty we'll even yearn for it :)

You are so damn intellectual. I love it. Your writing is evocative. I have a feeling that when the era of substack has been and gone, I’ll be nostalgic for your pieces!

Loved the Hemingway reference. 'The Sun Also Rises' always leaves me feeling incredibly nostalgic.
