We are not made up, as we had always supposed, of successively enriched packets of our own parts. We are shared, rented, occupied. At the interior of our cells, driving them, providing the oxidative energy that sends us out for the improvement of each shining day, are the mitochondria, and in a strict sense they are not ours. ↗

I always wondered if I was supposed to be excellent at something or not. I think, because of that, I have a lot of insecurities about myself. ↗
