About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Breathe and Savour every beautiful second of my life for it never returns ever again :D

ABOUT ME

www.michelleverma.blogspot.com

I am 25%chinese mixed with 75 % sikh.
An insanechattynutcase that enjoys the everyday ritual of experiencing lactic acid fermentation from not absorbing enough oxygen during the fast, never ending cycle of glycolosis. During the fermentation of my skeletal muscle cells, my liver assists me in removing the excess lactic acid and either storing and converting it to glycogen, or shuttling it back to my skeletal muscles as new glucose. This is the Cori cycle and, quite frankly, I am thankful for it.

PHILOSOPHY

€œPain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.€ Lance Armstrong

"If you can read this, Thank your teacher!"

"Liebe heißt, sich umeinander zu kümmern, zu ficken, und jeden so leben zu lassen, wie man selbst leben will."

"Schönheit und Glück findet man in letzter Konsequenz nur, wenn man sich selbst findet."
