— Clarice Lispector, from “The Stream of Life.”

I woke up today wanting, craving, fiening for LOVE.

But the REAL thing, I am willing to be patient as long as it takes for that real thing.

Man I am so deserving of it, I have been very patient, and healed from a loooot of pain and anguish. Its gonna feel so good when it’s finally my time.

Reblog if you ARE a woman in STEM, SUPPORT women in STEM, or ARE STILL BITTER about Rosalind Franklin not getting credit for discovering the structure of DNA and the Nobel prize going to Watson and Crick instead.

I'm not "giving up" or "being negative" I'm adjusting to my reality - which is actually a lot healthier than repeatedly pushing myself past my limits and then getting mad at myself when it doesn't work.

Get it done out of the way :) 

You really will find your passion. Even if it’s not something typical, even if others don’t understand it. There’s something in the world calling to you, and when you find that joyful thing follow it! It’s so easy to tell ourselves we just don’t have a passion, but you do! It doesn’t have to be about work, or success. If it makes your heart light up, that is enough.

Give yourself credit for the ways you’ve grown this year.
