The Tale of The Unique Molecular Bubble That
is The Color of Fire
By Angellina Earley
Did you know that we have billions of molecular bubbles stored
in the deepest pit of our stomachs?
Inside these molecules are secrets for our lives. Secrets that
we can not hear for years to come. In the night, we release one
molecular bubble per breath. Thousands are released every night.
They slowly drift until landing on the very tip of our hair. They
cover us and help to keep us warm. When we wake, we disturb their
comfort and they flutter around us.
Quickly and instinctually, we gather in handfuls those that help
us grow. Not grow in height, but grow as people. Those that we manage
to gather stay with us throughout the day.
Usually we forget about them by noon because they whisper their
secrets in a language foreign to us(at that specific time). Yet,
they stick around and quietly shape our days.
Only one night in our lives, usually when we are quite young, we
release a unique molecular bubble that travels through the night
sky. It is an especially strong bubble.
Scientists say that it is the color of fire. They have made many
attempts to decipher its secrets. All they can manage is four letters
that they jumbled around for decades and first came up with E-V-O-L
(this is where we got the word evolve). But they were indecisive
and liked their second guess better L-O-V-E
Now back to the molecule traveling through the night sky
It
lands on one of the hairs of your one true love. And that same night,
your one true love's unique molecular bubble lands on one of your
hairs.
Of course, it stands out amongst the rest. It stays with us longer
than that rest. It may stick with us for years and years until we
ourselves find our one true love.
For all those years, it keeps the sparkle in our eyes through many
many confusing not-so-true loves. Sometimes it cries and gets exhausted
because those not-so-true loves shrivel up and sometimes kill thousands
of other molecular grow bubbles. When this happens, it has to work
extra hard to keep us growing inside.
