“I once heard that every seven years you are biologically a completely different person, on a cellular level. Some cells, like skin cells, turn over frequently, and others, like brain cells or bone cells, last longer, years. But all of our cells eventually die and are replaced by new ones. The longest-lasting cells in a human body live around seven years, so once they re gone, once the longest-surviving cells in your body have turned over and been replaced, and your skin and hair and blood cells have already turned over many thousands of times, you are biologically a different person. No physical cells of the old you remain. If that's true, no cellular part of the me that loved Buck remains. But somehow, love remains.”
― Constance Wu

“Earth Breathes in Us.”
