They say that love is forever.

I’ll never win over her, I’m done. If you want me to stay in your life, put in some effort.

I can’t say “hello” to you and risk another “goodbye”

I so so so wanna get over it and let you go, but everytime you come around it gets worse, I understand we’ll never be together though, but I wish I had the kind of relationship we had with someone else.

It’s little times like saying “yeah, he was my best friend” or “no, no, im not with him!” and pulling off a little smile that makes me feel like I’d wish I could still say that we’re perfect for each other.

Pay attention: How we focus and concentrate
Scientists at Newcastle University have shed new light on how the brain tunes in to relevant information.
Publishing in Neuron, the team reveal the interplay of brain chemicals which help us pay attention in work funded by the Wellcome Trust and BBSRC.
By changing the way neurons respond to external stimuli we improve our perceptual abilities. While these changes can affect the strength of a neuronal response, they can also affect the fidelity of that response.
Lead author Alex Thiele, Professor of Visual Neuroscience explains: “When you communicate with others, you can make yourself better heard by speaking louder or by speaking more clearly. Neurons appear to do similar things when we’re paying attention. They send their message more intensely to their partners, which compares to speaking louder. But more importantly, they also increase the fidelity of their message, which compares to speaking more clearly.
“Our earlier work has shown that attention is able to affect the intensity of responses – in effect the loudness - by means of the brain chemical acetylcholine. Now we have shown that the fidelity of the response is altered by a different brain chemical system.”
In the paper, the team reveal that the quality of the response is altered by means of glutamate coupling to NMDA receptors (a molecular device that mediates communication between neurons). Carried out in a primate model, these studies for the first time isolate different attention mechanisms at the receptor level.
The research builds on the team’s previous studies and has potentially significant implications not only for our understanding of how our brains work but also give an insight into conditions such as schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease and attention deficit disorder, and may aid in the development of treatments for them.

This photo means so much to me. So much it’s crazy. Sienna is only 6 months old… she has a clean slate and a whole life to make mistakes, good and bad. But I will never let her make the same mistakes as me. I will make sure she always knows I’m here for her. She felt my scars for about 15 minutes, she kept looking up at me. From the moment she touched them, she didn’t take her hand away. She fell asleep in my arms, and still had her tiny hands resting on them. I can’t keep her safe from everything. But I will never let these demons take her over too…

This brought tear to my eyes
