Step
Somber sentences tell me I’m wrong.
Yet the beat of my heart
sings a different song.
Working for the man
Or say the son of Sam.
Is it them or me that
gets to say who I am?
Loaded or unloaded.
Unbuckling the belt
Is relief for the bloated.
Do demons rest
Behind minds exploded?
‘Everyday differences.
Realities the same.
Bow your head
and say your prayers
Before you call his name.’
‘Everything’s a game.
A joke’s what you call fame.
Save your breath
To pass the test
A loud mouth
Is a shame.’
‘Is something in the way?
Fear, naievity or malaise.
Find your way into the center
That’s where serenity lays.
Clearing up the haze.
A place you’ll be amazed.
You will endure we have ensured
Take a stand and bow
When you get praised.’

You’d be surprised how effective a smile is. Not only personally but for others.
My natural face has been perceived as rbf and generally gives off an unapproachable vibe. Smiling when I’m upset or in my head can, at times, completely change my mood and demeanor.

Match
Blank slate
Is that what you call fate?
Diamond inside th square shape.
Never late.
Take your time we set a date.
Juxtaposed position or incoming freight.
No major hang ups
Or disturbing red tape.
Oh wait -
Shoes off as you approach the gate.
Solo player -
We've found your mate.
~I.S.~

Planetary atmospheres are typically leaky things. Think about it – with no impenetrable barrier to hold it back against the void, some of it is bound to seep away and dissipate into the very tenuous medium in the between parts of space.
Earth loses about 90 tonnes of atmospheric material every day. That's not enough to make a dent, but it does give us a few clues about why some of the other planets are the way they are. Venus, for example, is thought to have once been a temperate world like Earth, with liquid water on its surface. Now, it's a scorching hell-planet choked in clouds of carbon dioxide that rain sulfuric acid.

Plastic is a very complex material that can contain many different chemicals, some of which can be harmful. This is also true for plastic food packaging.
"We found as many as 9,936 different chemicals in a single plastic product used as food packaging," said Martin Wagner, a professor at NTNU's Department of Biology.
Wagner has been working with chemicals in plastic products for several years. He is part of a research group at NTNU that has now published its findings in two articles in Environmental Science & Technology. Ph.D. candidates Molly McPartland and Sarah Stevens from NTNU are the lead authors of both studies.
In one study, the researchers looked at 36 different plastic products that are used to package food. These products came from five countries; the United States, the United Kingdom, South Korea, Germany and Norway.
"In most of these plastic products, we found chemicals that can affect the secretion of hormones and metabolism," Wagner said.

Say it with me:
I love myself through transition and discomfort.
I love myself through the times I stumble.
I love myself through my mental health episodes.
I love myself through times of loss and grief.
I love myself through every stage of growth.
