How often do you walk or run I walk. Every day. I walk when it’s cold, when it’s hot, when I’m sick, when I’m well, and when I’m questioning all my life choices. For the past 20 years, movement has been my therapy, my fuel, my caffeine. Even […]
So apparently, scientists found a Martian sample that may contain evidence of ancient microbial life. The headlines sound grand: “Life on Mars!” But then you squint at the fine print. No, it’s not exactly proof of life, more like a faint fossilized whisper of something microbial that once […]
This week felt like I was running a marathon on a treadmill with no finish line, just a relentless loop of emotional exhaustion, medical battles, and work deadlines tapping me on the shoulder like an impatient teacher. I had to fight really hard to get the medical care […]
