...and no, I don't have all the answers. I don't know how to jolt myself into seeing what each moment could become. But I do know one thing: the solution doesn't involve watering down my every little idea and creative impulse for the sake of some day easing my fit into a mold. It doesn't involve tempering my life to better fit someone's expectations. It doesn't involve constantly holding back for fear of shaking things up.

Back when I worked at the old building, there was a lab in the basement.  It was hard not putting on my labcoat, stopping in twards the end of the day, and steeling all of the beakers.

Why do all my attempts at science end with me being punched by Batman?  (P.S. benzoyl peroxide soap works great.)

You don't use science to show that you're right, you use science to become right.
