3. Bones Are Stronger Than Emotions

Warner Bros.

"I cried because we learned in anatomy class that osteocytes (bone cells) are trapped in the bone matrix to maintain bone structure. I cried harder when we learned that osteocytes started off as osteoblasts, which build bones. So they basically build bone around themselves and then get trapped. I will never forget the blank stare my teacher gave me when I told her why I was sobbing in class."
