One uncomfortable part of ambition is that your destination may not make sense to the people around you.
They understand your current reality, not necessarily your vision.
You may have to make decisions they disagree with, walk roads they wouldn't choose and sacrifice things they don't understand.
Not everyone is supposed to see what you see.
They say your last 7 seconds are a flashback.
I hope mine is simple:
Mom's arms. Dad's laugh. Giggling until my stomach hurt with the people who loved me for nothing.
No money. No titles. Just love.
Maybe that's the point of everything. 🤍
“Men are disturbed not by things, but by the views which they take of things.”
Epictetus, The Enchiridion, §V (trans. Thomas W. Higginson)
A pause between an event and our interpretation can change what we do next. It doesn’t make hardship unreal; it gives us room to choose our response.

“You may give them your love but not your thoughts.” — Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet (“On Children”)
Love means making room for another person to become themselves, not trying to shape them into a copy of us. What does that look like in everyday life?

“Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt.”
William Shakespeare, Measure for Measure
Fear can make a possibility feel like a certainty. Sometimes the first step is simply refusing to let doubt decide for us. #BookQuotes #LifeLessons
“Nothing is so painful to the human mind as a great and sudden change.”
Mary Shelley, Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus (1818)
Shelley captures how upheaval can make a familiar world feel unfamiliar. #BookQuotes#Literature
In mice, a brief mRNA treatment switched on Myc and Cyclin T1, prompting heart cells to divide after a heart attack. Treated mice pumped about 10% more blood per beat. Promising, but not tested in people. https://t.co/WUayk4kt3r #HeartResearch#mRNA

A black hole, a neutron star and a white dwarf, released at rest.
A black hole of 5 Suns, a neutron star of 2 Suns (24 km across) and a white dwarf of 1.2 Suns (about 8,000 km across, smaller than Earth) start motionless on a 3-4-5 triangle, 300,000 to 500,000 km apart.
This is the rare ending. We ran 246 starts: all six ways to place the three on the triangle, each with the corners moved by up to 1,000 km. The black hole ate first in 84% of them. The neutron star tore the white dwarf first in only 3.
Thanks for adding the caveat, most posts about this skip it. Fiber binding particles in the gut is plausible, but a fluorescence signal in mice at 24 hours is a long way from fewer plastics in a person. Fiber's worth eating anyway; the bigger lever is still cutting what goes in, like not heating food in plastic.
Male mice on a high-fibre diet had up to 7× less nanoplastic-associated fluorescence remaining 24 hours after exposure. Intriguing, but it’s animal research, not proof fibre removes plastics in people. #Nutrition#Microplastics https://t.co/KosRq3PFmA
