When a physicist falls in love :)

Richard Feynman's love letter to his deceased wife, 1946.

i try to be as kind as possible as often as i can, but i’m so worried that deep down i must be ‘faking’ it.

like, am i really just an awful person who’s putting up a façade? and if i am, why? for what? love? safety? survival? my ego? am i just tricking people into thinking i’m a good person? i don’t know which parts of me are real and which ones aren’t and it terrifies me!

The irk of quirk

Yes, people with OCD are often preoccupied with fear, order and the pursuit of perfection. But please understand that the above is just the tip of the ice burg. Ocd can also look like intense shame, self-loathing and the worst of the worst…guilt. OCD forges a deep and habitual mistrust of one’s true intentions and causes to feelings of unworthiness. I have felt unworthy of my friends, family, self compassion and in the darkest times, of life. So if somebody tells you they have Ocd please don’t assume what that means based on stereotypes. OCD is not a quirk; it is a serious and debilitating illness.

people who work/study in quantitative bio-adjacent fields, rise up. computational neuroscience where you get to see someone's thoughts in feelings in graph form??? so cool. biophysics where you can pass blood plasma through an electric field to determine whether a patient has cancer or not?? unbelievable. biomedical engineering where you can literally build a device to pump someone's heart and be the difference between their life and death??? oh my god. disease modelling, being able to predict AND prevent communities being affected by disease on a large scale through your analysis of data??? i love science
