I love you. I worry about you. I wonder whether I tell you enough how I love you and want you and need you and how I am diminished … when you are not with me and how I am multiplied when you are here.

The human body is defined as the entire structure of a human being and comprises a head, neck, trunk (which includes the thorax and abdomen), arms and hands, legs and feet. Every part of the body is composed of various types of cells, the fundamental unit of life. The study of the human body involves anatomy and physiology. Human anatomy is primarily the scientific study of the morphology of the human body. Human physiology is the science of the mechanical, physical, bio-electrical, and biochemical functions of humans in good health, their organs, and the cells of which they are composed.

Every day, we see, breathe, touch, and feel, but how does our body make this possible?

The human body consists of seven octillion atoms, making up the 37 trillion cells in our body, which can regenerate themselves over time. The cells that line up the stomach, regenerate every five days, which makes sense, since stomach acid can dissolve metal. Meanwhile, the skin’s outer layer, known as the epidermis, sheds every two to four weeks (roughly 1.5 pounds per year) of dead skin. On the other hand, some cells have been with us our entire lives, specifically those of the inner lens of the eyes, the muscle cells of the heart, and the neurons of the cerebral cortex in the brain (responsible for our memory).

When it comes to our sight, although we spend 10 percent of the day blinking, our eyes can actually distinguish between 2.3 to 7.5 million colors. In fact, studies have shown that after viewing 2,500 images for only three seconds, participants could recall if they had seen one of the images with 92 percent accuracy. This is contrary to the belief that long-term memory is not capable of storing images with detail.

Our touch and grasp, along with our sight, help us pinch and grab objects with our thumb, using the index and middle finger. However, it is the ring and pinky that gives us the ultimate hand power. When we put our hands together, we capture roughly the size of our heart as it beats 100,000/day, pumping 5.5 liters with each pulse, which is close to 3 million liters of blood every year. If a person were to live to 75, it would fill 90 Olympic size swimming pools.

Now, when the heart stops beating, human decomposition begins around four minutes after death. This process, known as self-digestion, occurs when our enzymes and bacteria eat us away. In fact, 3 to 5 pounds of your body is made up of bacteria. In comparison, in an unclean mouth alone, 100 million to one billion bacteria can grow on each tooth — with 32 teeth each, some of us have more bacteria in our mouth than there are people in the world.

I miss his touch, I miss the feel of his skin gently pressed against mine. The way he’d hold my hand, the feel of our fingers intertwined after a long day. The way his lips would touch mine, but in such a way it’d make my heart beat faster. I miss him

“I see myself as kind of this girl who writes songs in her bedroom. You can kind of dress it up all you want and you can put together an amazing theatrical production, you can become a better performer as time goes by, and you can try to excite people, but I’m always going to be a girl who writes songs in her bedroom in my own personal perception of myself.”
