Thoughts at Thirty
Turning thirty represented a lot of things for me. It was the start of a new decade but also the end of three decades that were filled with so many different experiences and emotions. Thoughts at Thirty is a podcast I made to talk about reflections from the past, fears for the future and especially, the feelings in the present.

Episode 6
In this episode I talk about my thoughts on sadness. Do we need sadness? Is it important to feel it to be truly happy? Heavy Spoilers if you haven't seen "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" because I quote the movie a lot in the episode as I felt the themes of the film really tie in well and explore the same ideas as I wanted to present.
Quotes used in the episode:
"Blessed are the forgetful: for they get the better even of their blunders."
- Friedrich Nietzsche
“How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd?”
- Alexander Pope (From Eloisa to Abelard)
