Why can’t I be ok alone? My goals in life involve helping my family and finishing my education, I can’t afford to have a life, let alone engage in the life of another. Furthermore, science is nothing like knowing people to me, I love my fellow humans infinitely, however, science just has so much more substance and interest. Science is frightening and fascinating and each thing you discover makes you hungry to learn more and the more you know, the more you realize you can’t realize and so you read more and more and try more and more and study harder and harder to be smart enough to understand the concepts that will help you realize each new fact and explore each new idea and it never really ends. But people aren’t like that, at least not to me. Love (the kind you feel for the person you marry) is boring to me, because once you go so far..it just stops. There isn’t a plethora of new discoveries or a bucket load more to learn, and when you begin learning more and more about a person you begin to realize that what you fell in love with is what you are allowed to see and never who you wanted to be with. Science is my love, it never disappoints, is always interesting, difficult to ever grasp, always a few steps ahead of me and fun to chase. :) The greatest scientific minds die trying to figure out some new theory or discovery, I need a love that lingers on millennia after I’m gone.
