Hi, today I’m 34. I had a great year and I hope the next year will be even better. Here are 42 things that I want to share (I tried to write 35 notes but I ended up with 42).

I wrote this in a 30-minute sprint, so I didn't include specific credits. These lines are a mix of direct quotes and my own adaptations. Heavily influenced by nostr:npub1n5r9lpxqewnmpmux7hfdz40xecq30z52x0sef7vend6f0vdjyqds020ngn , nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc , Marcus Aurelius, Satoshi Nakamoto and many other great minds.
