Time seems to move even slower in the hospital, these white walls, the sterile smell and the insane boredom get on my nerves. I catch myself desperately wanting something alive, real... communication, emotions, even an argument - just to feel that I'm alive.😊

And you know what I do to avoid getting bored? I read. A lot, greedily, almost as if I'm inhaling something warm in gulps on this cold, emotionless day.

I came across an interesting fact today, and it's still spinning around in my head.
It turns out that a whale's heart beats only 9 times a minute.

And when he dives deep into the ocean, his heart can slow down to 2 beats per minute to conserve oxygen. Can you imagine?
It's like time slowing down... The real magic of nature. 💙

I don't know why, but this fact somehow touched me deeply.

Maybe because lately I myself want to slow down...
feel every moment.
Not to run somewhere, not to fuss, but just to be. Like a whale. Calmly and strongly.

Did you know about this?
Do you even like such small, strange discoveries?

Sometimes it seems to me that it is from such facts that the feeling of a miracle is formed - the very thing that we sometimes lack so much in everyday life.

I often think that the person with whom I would be interested in discussing such things - who would not laugh, but say: "Wow, this is really cool" - is the person with whom I would like not only to read articles, but also to look at the stars... to talk about the immortal jellyfish, about galaxies, about love stories in letters and about everything in the world.

And you?
What do you read when you are bored or when you want to be alone with your thoughts?

I look forward to your answer...💋
