Science of the Unknown
for Say it Plainly
The thing about the universe is that we really don’t know it. We live in it, yes….
We take up space in it, and it takes up space around us. We think we know what it is, because it’s everything. But what is everything? That’s not really a good answer.
Only recently has science tried to tackle the question of what it really consists of. What shape is it?
Is it a plain, that goes on forever? Most have probably thought it’s a sphere… because we have our three dimensions, and that would make the most logical sense.
But we can’t even perceive the edges. How could we? So then all rules are out the window.
It could be a cube, a pyramid, a cylinder, a blob. Heck, it could even be one of those 3-D star shapes the mystics called the Merkabba!
We’ll never know as long as we’re on the inside looking out. What’s it like trying to find the shape of the universe? Well… can an ant know the shape of a blanket?

When “f” Eats, It Spells Feat
I can hardly breathe. The sadness in my throat is as tight as a rope that has been tied in a dozens knots. The muscles in my face attempt to move, but they are as a stagnant pond. I try to swallow but I just feel exhausted. Putting my feet on the floor, feels like an impossible feat. This is not how I was supposed to be as an adult at all. I was supposed to grow up and be confident, energetic and happy, not depressed.

Unofficial Challenge: What would you do if you were rich?
I love the kind of work I get to do in my career, but as I job search and browse apartments again due to another understaffed and unsustainable work environment that I did not intend to get into, my daydreams of better days consistently lean into the same question: What would I do if I didn't have to worry about my basic needs being met?

There is so much mystery to the universe than we will ever know! Maybe it's a good thing we don't know all there is.
