I’m slowly trying to accept my new life, grow and move on.

This is just horrific.

Dr. Dawn Wright went 6.8 miles straight down into the Pacific Ocean in July 2022, to a part of the Mariana Trench no human had ever visited. The first thing she saw when she hit the bottom: a green beer bottle. Label still readable. Half-buried in mud, almost 36,000 feet below the surface.

That spot is called Challenger Deep. It's the lowest point on Earth. The pressure down there is around 16,000 pounds per square inch, which Wright once compared to the Eiffel Tower balancing on your big toe. A navy submarine can only handle about 3% of that depth before getting crushed. The bottle made it because it was open. Water filled it on the way down and matched the pressure outside. Simple physics kept a piece of trash together at a depth that would flatten a sub.

It's far from the only garbage down there. In 2019, explorer Victor Vescovo found a plastic bag and candy wrappers during a separate dive to 35,853 feet. That same year, a study in Royal Society Open Science collected tiny shrimp-like creatures from six of the deepest ocean trenches, including from almost 7 miles down. 72% of them had microplastics (broken-down bits of plastic, smaller than a grain of rice) in their stomachs.

A separate Chinese Academy of Sciences study found up to 2,200 microplastic particles per liter of Mariana Trench mud. One liter is roughly the size of a large water bottle.

In 2025, researchers published results in Nature from nearly 2,000 ocean sampling spots collected over ten years. Microplastics showed up at every depth, including the Mariana Trench. The researchers called it a "plastic smog" that runs throughout the entire ocean, from the surface to the bottom.

Only 27 people have ever been to Challenger Deep, and over 600 have been to space. I keep thinking about that gap. About 11 million tonnes of plastic enter the ocean each year, roughly 2,000 garbage trucks' worth dumped in every single day, and only 1% of it floats.

The other 99% sinks. Some of it ends up almost 7 miles down, inside animals that have never seen sunlight, in water so isolated it hasn't circulated back to the surface in about 2,000 years.

No matter how much you love someone, if you don't love them in their love language, they might never feel loved.
Appreciate your gestures, YES. But they'll see it as you simply being KIND and not LOVING them.
