I'm fine with waiting a while to be able to actually talk, so just a comment here and there, it doesn't even have to be every day, just maybe a couple times a week, to let me know you're still there, and I'll probably type quite a bit more in response. If you want to talk more often than that, I would love that, but first priority at the moment is security. Your parents cannot find out. I don't want to try for another month without you in my life, plus I'm sure that sucked for you, losing access to the internet because of a stupid mistake I made. Above is my response that I commented moments after messing up with your parents, if you haven't read it yet.

I'm guessing that you have to be very careful now that you're finally able to use your phone again, and that if you are seen typing too often or too much they will get suspicious. I've got a plan now that I think will work. Texting, calling, and facetiming are all very risky, because they could find out. However, your parents would probably not know to check funsubstance, and even if they did, they probably wouldn't know how to check notifications and find comments, so I think we're safe as long as we stick to this post for the time being. Nobody else has ever commented on it, so you and I are the only ones who will be notified of a new comment. (It sounds like I'm all business now, but I am freaking out on the inside. It's been over a month. So fucking long. I am completely giddy right now)

I'm sorry if this seems odd, but while I have diligently checked my email and Funsubstance daily, awaiting your return, I've also visited your profile every once in a while. And that's what made me extremely excited, that you commented on a couple things two days ago, for the first time in weeks. You were here. I don't know if you still are, but if so, please let me know. I hope I didn't miss my only shot. Even if it's to tell me to leave you alone, and that you don't want to talk to me anymore, please tell me so I can work on moving on.

Yeah, it's an incomplete dominance thing, (or is it co-dominance?) with sickle cell anemia. If you live in Africa and have zero alleles for it, you are very susceptible to Malaria. If you have one allele for it, the red blood cells act normal until attacked by a Malaria worm, in which case they twist out of shape and strangle it. If you have both alleles for it, then your cells are just fucked. So yeah, I did mention above that there are some beneficial mutations (and all mutations are basically genetic disorders) that are beneficial, and so they are still around today.

The reason genetic disorders don't disappear and are so prevalent today is because of modern medicine. We are able to keep people with these disorders alive much longer than they would have survived on their own, often long enough to procreate and pass that disorder on. It is because of medicine that humans, as a species, are weakening. Ironic, isn't it? That a practice to save the individual is ultimately condemning the species.

Human DNA doesn't attempt to "evolve". There is nothing coded in our genes that tells us to change. We pass on half of our DNA to our offspring, and they get the other half from the other parent. This causes the slight difference, but genetic disorders occur when a mutation, or mistake, is made in that process of attempting to perfectly construct the DNA molecule. Genetic disorders are failed attempts of DNA to replicate, not to evolve. They are mutations that just happen to stick around and are able to be passed on to other offspring. Not all mutations are like this, it is an extreme few that can be out of the mutations that occur. Most of the time, more so in the past, people with genetic mutations would die early on in life, while the select few that got beneficial mutations were more likely to live on. This is natural selection. In this way, the best and strongest survive, making the entire species stronger.

The primary definition of jealousy is a feeling of resentment towards a rival, but a less used definition is a feeling of protectiveness for what you have

Diga comes form the word "decir", meaning "to say or tell". It's like saying "Talk to me"

I think you should switch the Starbucks with whiskey, and the vape for a cigar or tobacco pipe. Unless you don't smoke, then maybe a Gameboy or something
