Made From Stars

I found this on Tumblr here and had to share because it’s so beautiful, just one of those things that you can read as a reminder anytime you need reassurance.

“Look at your wrist, see the bluish veins? The blood flowing through them contains a hemoglobin, a protein that has four iron atoms incorporated into its structure. Iron is only naturally produced in one place, it can only be forged in the core of dying stars. 

Everytime you look at your veins, remember that you are built from, and kept alive by, pieces of stardust.” -Vethox
