Ugh
School and work had me stressed for a while. I’ve gained a little weight in the completion of this semester…gimme a break, the only pleasure I felt for weeks now was yummy food in my mouth.
I shall return to my strict dieting…tomorrow!
:3
Send me positive encouraging vibes to achieve this goal of mine for the next 4 months :)

Title: The Boat
Hello, this is Melissa, and I have a few words to share.
This blog belongs to a beautiful young woman named Monica. I’ve had the pleasure of watching her grow up and flourish into, not only a beautiful woman, but, a wonderful human being. She is a vessel filled with love and kindness, even when she can’t seem to show it. But you can’t blame her, life was never meant to be easy and humans seem to always force each other to put up thick walls and defenses. I digress. Nevertheless, this female is one of my most treasured friends and a fellow human I am so very glad to have met. I am grateful for every time she was there, when everyone else was absent, and let me tell you — that is what defines a friendship.
I need to stop before I turn this into an epic tale of feels.
Just know: I love (appreciate) you bby girl.

The Deepest Point of the Mariana Trench is Teeming with Life
A robot sent to the the very bottom of the Mariana Trench has confirmed that even the deepest parts of the ocean are teeming with microbial life. The Challenger Deep was previously thought to be too hostile an environment for life to exist, but this provides evidence that extremeophile bacteria can exist in the near-freezing temperatures, immense pressures and complete darkness of the deepest ocean trenches.
Scientists sent a specially designed robot 11 km down to the floor of the Challenger Deep. This robot was equipped with sensors that allowed it to measure oxygen consumption in the sediment on the seafloor, a metric that is considered to be an indicator of life. They found a surprisingly high amount of oxygen consumption, indicating that the seafloor of the Challenger deep was teeming with micro-organisms, which feed off the waste products and decomposing matter that descend from ecosystems higher in the water column.
