24 hours with no technology, crazy or awesome?

observing the sabbath, childhood curiosities and are superpowers real?

whenever I tell people that once a week I spend 24 hours with no technology, no travel, not even writing, they look at me like I’m a little nuts.

So I explain to them, that I observe the sabbath (shabbat in Hebrew)

It’s funny to me the sense of pride (if that’s the right word for it?) I feel explaining this now, when even just 2-3 years ago I wished I didn’t observe.

It used to be a source of stress to me, to shut everything off, and not being able to work. Maybe this is something that comes with age, but I actually enjoy being able to disconnect for a while.

Let’s chalk it up to character development and call it a day shall we?

I kid, but shabbat gives me time to think, away from the influx of views and opinions thrown at you online, it’s refreshing to think of something and it be your own (if that makes any sense at all)

So this week I was actually thinking quite a bit.

Partially, I’ll be honest, so that I had something to write here, and I guess it kinda worked, but also about questions I had as a kid that I just sort of gave up on as an adult?

In eighth grade I asked my teacher if something I saw in a superhero movie could technically ever be possible in reality.

I think she must have thought I was watching too many sci-fi shows or something, but she said she didn’t think so.

most of the people I asked said the same thing, so I kind of gave up after a while.

recently though, I was genuinely curious again. Turned out that ye, it was possible, and so that’s what I was thinking about today.

That, and at what point did we decide to stop asking questions? like as a kid you ask ‘why’ about everything, and then it stops.

I want to start asking why again, like spending hours on something random just for the sake of it?

and so, I end off today with a question for you:

what’s something you always wondered about as a kid, that maybe you never got an answer for?

I challenge you to look it up, even for just 10 minutes, because why not?

for me, thats the ‘science of superpowers’.

Childish? probably. But why not?

I’ll update on some findings this week
