"In increments both measurable and not, our childhood is stolen from us — not always in one momentous event but often in a series of small robberies, which add up to the same loss."

"Self-confidence is not the same thing as ego. This is not to say that the two don’t (frequently) dance hand in hand down the street, pushing over old ladies in crosswalks and kicking baby kittens. But they are definitely not the same entity. Ego is thinking you have all the answers. Self-confidence is knowing you don’t have the answers, but being pretty sure that you will be able to find them."

What if oxygen is poisonous and it just takes 75-100 years to kill us?
My science teacher said he thinks that’s true actually
lol our cells will actually die within minutes without oxygen
Oxygen actually forms a radical within our bodies, which destroys macromolecules and cells. These radicals must be converted into a non-harmful form by enzymes in the body. These enzymes will not effectively convert all of the radicals, meaning that cell damage will occur, and that oxygen really does kill us.
