Well, it's interesting because that's a good example of how with some of these, they're both literally true and metaphorically true. So it's also literally true where like often a fine perfume will have some very bad smelling notes. So it's literally true. But you're saying it's also metaphorically true in a creative sense or in a kind of a more transcendent sense. There's a little bit of ugly.

Along the same lines, one of my favorites is if you don't like a pair of pants... don't pay to get them hemmed. It's like literally true and metaphorically true. A friend of mine said, I disagree. And that's part of the fun and the secrets of adulthood. You may not agree. I'm like, I don't know. It's never worked out in my case, but yeah.

Yes. Did I include the example in that? I can't remember if it made it to the book. So a lot of these came from like something will happen and I'll be like, oh, there's a lesson there. Or I'll be preoccupied with a story and it will just run over and over in my mind and I'll try to understand the meaning of it.

And with that one, what happened was a friend of mine, she was looking for a new apartment. So six months go by, and I see her again, and I say, oh, how's it going with looking for a new apartment? And she said, oh, you know, I gave it up because I thought I wanted an outdoor space, but I realized I actually want a husband. We change what's easy to change.
