“They sing of the silent wars waged …. of careers that both liberate and imprison, and of dreams that demand to be chased - often at great cost.”
- Apiorkor
What I remember was that blood was blue in veins because it was on its way back to the heart and lungs after being depleted of its oxygen. Arterial blood is always red because it is oxygenated.
When a wound cuts a vein it turns red outside of the body once it hits air.
At least that's what I remember.
The biggest reminder I've gotten in 2024 is that I'm human.
I'm not superwoman. I'm not made of steel. I'll never be able to meet everyone's needs all of the time and I should never be expected to. I also have needs & emotions that need tending to because I'm human.
