I’m sad and I’ve been sad. I know no one wants to see that, I know people want me to get better, whatever that means, and to be happy. But, ugh, right now I’m not happy, okay? And I’m okay with that because I know this won’t last, I know my feelings will change, along with my thinking. So just, I don’t know, be here, and ride it out with me. Please don’t try to force me into feeling something I cannot at the moment. It will only make me push you away.

You know what’s kind of beautiful?
In French, you don’t really say “I miss you.” You say “tu me manques,” which is closer to “you are missing from me.”
I love that. “You are missing from me.” You are a part of me, you are essential to my being. You are like a limb, or an organ, or blood. I cannot function without you.
What's your secret?
I have the crappiest job, and my income has to be shared with the rest of my household. My dad doesn’t give a shit about any of this since he and my mother divorced. My stepfather is so picky with his money. At times the only thing I eat during the day is a yogurt and some biscuits. It is very hard but my mother is too proud to ask for help from her brothers. In my job, people are surprised that I don’t have money most of the time and still ask why I don’t go to a doctor when I need to. BECAUSE I DON’T HAVE MONEY FOR IT! I try to keep myself optimistic, that things will change because I’m trying hard for them to change, but other days just like today, I just cry my heart out. So for those that are concerned with having to much weight, for the love of GOD enjoy food! You never know when you might actually be in a position where you don’t have enough of it.
Needless to say, microscopy has progressed radically since Leeuwenhoek first observed his “animalcules” through lenses.
It is now possible to dissect cells into their various microscopic components, aiding not only in modeling and visualisation but also treatment and the advancement of research. In the image above, scientists used a technique called stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM) to peer deeper into a kidney cell. Objects of interest – in this case a protein called actin involved in cell movement – are tagged with fluorescent markers, which light up under laser light. This composite image is formed from 230,000 frames and is detailed enough to illuminate individual actin fibres, which are less than a millionth of a centimetre thick. Such high resolution can reveal the effects of a disease or a genetic fault in the finest detail - advancing research and treatment to a whole new level simply through the power of visualisation.
awesome! =D
