A quick word about the NYC Subway incident earlier... (harsh but not graphic)
It wasn't the Bystander Effect. It goes beyond that. We've failed as individuals so thoroughly that we have failed as a society. It's my fault. It's your fault. I'm not even being facetious, I blame us all.
It's more than helping when you see someone needs help, even. You need to be going out of your way to FIND people who need help AND help them. No excuses. I dont give a shit if you cant pay your bills. Homeless children share their meals and nobody has less they're able to share. You're selfish. I'm selfish. It's our fault. We didn't help her in time. If that makes you too sad to help then you need to get stronger because weak hearts will not overcome hardships.
Be fucking useful, bystander.
Go volunteer or some shit. Check your bridges to see if people need HELP (not trespassing charges.) Don't do a good deed you fucking egotistical cop out—lead a damn good life.
School stars for a month but I have some exams soon.I feel so tired and I feel like I don’t remember anything from what I’ve studied but i’m trying to be motivated and to not give up.
Sooo good luck to everyone who is also struggling with studying.Everything will be OK

Stars Make Firework Supplies!
The next time you see fireworks, take a moment to celebrate the cosmic pyrotechnics that made them possible. From the oxygen and potassium that help fireworks burn to the aluminum that makes sparklers sparkle, most of the elements in the universe wouldn’t be here without stars.
From the time the universe was only a few minutes old until it was about 400 million years old, the cosmos was made of just hydrogen, helium and a teensy bit of lithium. It took some stellar activity to produce the rest of the elements!
Stars are element factories
Even after more than 13 billion years, the hydrogen and helium that formed soon after the big bang still make up over 90 percent of the atoms in the cosmos. Most of the other elements come from stars.
Stars began popping into the universe about 400 million years after the big bang. That sounds like a long time, but it’s only about 3% of the universe’s current age!
Our Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will study the universe’s early days to help us learn more about how we went from a hot, soupy sea of atoms to the bigger cosmic structures we see today. We know hydrogen and helium atoms gravitated together to form stars, where atoms could fuse together to make new elements, but we're not sure when it began happening. Roman will help us find out.
The central parts of atoms, called nuclei, are super antisocial – it takes a lot of heat and pressure to force them close together. Strong gravity in the fiery cores of the first stars provided just the right conditions for hydrogen and helium atoms to combine to form more elements and generate energy. The same process continues today in stars like our Sun and provides some special firework supplies.
Carbon makes fireworks explode, helps launch them into the sky, and is even an ingredient in the “black snakes” that seem to grow out of tiny pellets. Fireworks glow pink with help from the element lithium. Both of these elements are created by average, Sun-like stars as they cycle from normal stars to red giants to white dwarfs.
Eventually stars release their elements into the cosmos, where they can be recycled into later generations of stars and planets. Sometimes they encounter cosmic rays, which are nuclei that have been boosted to high speed by the most energetic events in the universe. When cosmic rays collide with atoms, the impact can break them apart, forming simpler elements. That’s how we get boron, which can make fireworks green, and beryllium, which can make them silver or white!
Since massive stars have even stronger gravity in their cores, they can fuse more elements – all the way up to iron. (The process stops there because instead of producing energy, fusing iron is so hard to do that it uses up energy.)
That means the sodium that makes fireworks yellow, the aluminum that produces silver sparks (like in sparklers), and even the oxygen that helps fireworks ignite were all first made in stars, too! A lot of these more complex elements that we take for granted are actually pretty rare throughout the cosmos, adding up to less than 10 percent of the atoms in the universe combined!
Fusion in stars only got us through iron on the periodic table, so where do the rest of our elements come from? It’s what happens next in massive stars that produces some of the even more exotic elements.
Dying stars make elements too!
Once a star many times the Sun’s mass burns through its fuel, gravity is no longer held in check, and its core collapses under its own weight. There, atoms are crushed extremely close together – and they don’t like that! Eventually it reaches a breaking point and the star explodes as a brilliant supernova. Talk about fireworks! These exploding stars make elements like copper, which makes fireworks blue, and zinc, which creates a smoky effect.
Something similar can happen when a white dwarf star – the small, dense core left behind after a Sun-like star runs out of fuel – steals material from a neighboring star. These white dwarfs can explode as supernovae too, spewing elements like the calcium that makes fireworks orange into the cosmos.
When stars collide
White dwarfs aren’t the only “dead” stars that can shower their surroundings with new elements. Stars that are too massive to leave behind white dwarfs but not massive enough to create black holes end up as neutron stars.
If two of these extremely dense stellar skeletons collide, they can produce all kinds of elements, including the barium that makes fireworks bright green and the antimony that creates a glitter effect. Reading this on a phone or computer? You can thank crashing dead stars for some of the metals that make up your device, too!
As for most of the remaining elements we know of, we've only seen them in labs on Earth so far.
Sounds like we’ve got it all figured out, right? But there are still lots of open questions. Our Roman Space Telescope will help us learn more about how elements were created and distributed throughout galaxies. That’s important because the right materials had to come together to form the air we breathe, our bodies, the planet we live on, and yes – even fireworks!
So when you’re watching fireworks, think about their cosmic origins!

“So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they’re busy doing things they think are important. This is because they’re chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning”

Qué lástima que siempre tarde de 2 a 3 años en entender las cosas.
Esta vez, tarde 8 años en entender muchas cosas pero la mas importante es la que voy a decir aquí.
El amor que casi fue, amor que nunca tendre.
Hace muchos años, 9 para ser exacta, conocí a un muchacho muy lindo. El era alto, con ojos cafe que en el sol parecían miel, tenia piel blanca, unos labio preciosos, y un físico muy lindo. Era muy lindo. Bueno, todavía existe asi que todavía es.
Bueno, la primera vez que lo vi, me cayo muy bien, nos conocimos en el supermercado y pues en realidad cuando me dio la mano para saludarme me causo electricidad por todo el cuerpo. No fue un shock asi por static, fue un shock. Ahora pienso en ese momento y digo, como no sabia nada de nada en ese entonces. Bueno, ese dia yo lo escuche diciendo a su amigo, imaginate despertarte y ver eso ojo que ella tiene todos los días. Y la verdad, ahora no lo puedo creer. Luego de comprar las cosas que íbamos a necesitar nos fuimos a nadar.
Bueno, fuimos y nadamos y a la pasamos máximo. Esto fue Abril 4 , 2012.
Los siguientes días fueron unos de los mejores dia de mi vida, en el momento no lo sabía, pero ahora lo veo.
Bueno, pues pasaron los dia, y salimos un dia a tomar un cafe, me dio un beso. Fue uno de los mejores besos que he podido tener. Fue un beso tan apasionado, tan lleno de pasión. Era mi primera experiencia besando los labios de una persona de internacional. Y aunque era diferente me gusto mucho.
Pasaron los dia y pues este lindo muchacho, estaba bien interesado en salir conmigo. Me saco a unas citas y me hacia muy muy feliz pero yo tenia un corazon roto y otra cosa me lo impedía pues ahorita les digo.
Fue en una tarde que el me llevo a su casa, me llevo al parque y platicamos acerca de su religion y la mia. El es árabe de Palestina y yo soy cristiana. Y a los 18 años yo estaba muy segura que no podía juntarme con una person que no era de mi religión. Y le dije que no una y otra vez. El me rogaba, y me decía que le diera una oportunidad. Que su familia era parte cristiana y que él podía cambiar. Mientras el insistia yo siempre le decía que no . Pasaron los días y fuimos a la iglesia, el estaba interesado en conocer más de la Biblia, el queria mucho hacer esto.. pues pasaron los dias y pues, nunca se dio.
Esto duró casi todo un año y pues nunca se dieron las cosas. La verdad es que como yo ya tenía en mi mente que no lo iba poder corresponder como que lo eche de menos.
Bueno en 2017 nos vimos otra vez, el se había casado con una muchacha de la iglesia, se caso con una latina, y pues cuando hablamos me contó que se había divorciado, y que pues estaba viviendo la vida loca. Pues después de ese dia nunca escuche mas de el, luego pasaron los años y me di cuenta que se había casado y que iba a tener un bebe.
Pues pasaron mas los a˜nos y un sábado fui a la nueva casa de mi mejor amiga en pjs para tener un dia chill y lo vi. Lo vi con su hijo mientras el regaba la yarda. Vi su parado, lo reconoci imediatamente. Y no lo podia creer. Mi what could have been enfrente de mis ojos.... y me llevo a 9 años atras.... y me ha tenido pensando en en el. Hay algunas cosas que quiero poner aqui en el mundo para regresar un dia y recordarme. Quiero un dia contar mi historia.
Estas son las cosas que te quiero decir.
1. Hola, tan simple lo se. Pero la verdad es que me gustaría decirle eso y abrazarlo y darle un beso en la mejilla.
2. Me gustaria decirle que estoy orgullosa de el y que me da mucho gusto verlo y ver que tiene su propio negocio.
3.Me gustaria decirle que lo siento mucho que nunca le dé la oportunidad.
La tercera es la que me gustaria decir con mas explicacion. I know that I set on glorifying God with my action of making sure that I did not date someone equally yoked, I am proud of my decision and determination. I don't know how many 18 yr olds can make a decision like that. However, 9 years later, I see the flaw in not consulting this decision with someone who could have helped me. I TRUST and know that God is sovereign and there’s nothing that goes unseen by Him however, our choices also make our paths. And because I was so closed minded I didn’t give this person a chance. Unfortunately, that is one of my flaws. I don’t regret my decision but I do see how I did miss out on someone I actually loved and really liked but unfortunately could not date.
I never put the pieces together, he had a heart that was open to change, He seeked guidance, he had family members that were guiding him, and there was churches we could have gone to but we didn't because I had no idea.
I guess my lesson to learn is that when God is working, let him . Let him move the pieces as he needs to . Don’t rush to make a decision because you think it’s best. Because only HE knows what’s best.
So now, I sit and I lament over the fact that that beautiful wife he has could have been me, the baby could have been mine, and I could live across my BFF! But I don’t lament in a bad way, but in a way of knowing that I am made a rash decision , but God saw my heart. I just wish I could have sat down and thought about all of this, but we have to live and learn.
Anyways, I hope to see you again one day and catch up. I know that it seems like there’s no need . I hope you’re happy now and that you are enjoying your marriage and your sweet baby boy.
In my wildest dream , I’d hope to see you again and get to hold you again.
I am sorry for what happened. I was so young and didn’t know much about life.
I’d much rather have one great person to talk to every night than have several pointless conversations with temporary people.
