The title refers to a couple of my REU friends. They wanted to go to a mask party, and needing masks, they took some paper bags and went with it. I don't really know how it turned out.
Today I added solutions of my compounds to the cells I plated yesterday. Me and biology, we went our separate ways a long time ago. With good reason. I mean, it is cool and all, but not for me. Not until I get better with the repeater at least.
I was going to write this yesterday, but with so much else to say, I left it for now. An away message of a good friend said this: "Sometimes you have to forget how you feel and remember what you deserve." It wasn't the first time I had seen it, but it was an important reminder of something I can forget. Remember what you deserve. How do you even know what that is? Maybe it's one of those things you figure out by process of elimination; somewhere along the way the bar gets set by past experiences. Is there a baseline though? I venture to set one:
1. No one deserves to be in constant pain of any sort.
2. No one deserves to be unhappy with his or her life.
3. No one deserves to feel less worthy because of any arbitrary standard that he or she doesn't meet.
I don't know what it all comes down to, I only know this: we were meant to life this life fully and to help others do the same. Not everyone gets what they want, nor does everyone get what they deserve. That shouldn't stop us from trying.
Currently reading: Run. Yeah, I know.
Listening to: "Good Love Is On The Way" by John Mayer. "You can take all the tricks up my sleeve. I don't need them anymore." :)
