Chosen by Life / by Alexander Lyadov

The harsh statistics of romantic love go like this.

200–300 million sperm cells begin their journey toward the egg. It seems simple enough: they need to travel just two or three inches through the fallopian tubes, where the egg waits—but only briefly, for 12 to 24 hours.

Only 30 to 200 reach the finish line. The rest perish in the acidic environment and under pressure from the immune system. Still, their death isn't wasted—they "loosen" the path for the others.

To keep the embryo healthy, nature built a shield against too many chromosomes. The egg lets in one and slams the membrane shut. The shell hardens, and no one else gets in.

Appreciate the odds—only 1 out of 300 million hears: "Welcome!"

He was healthy, fast, and determined—but also incredibly lucky. And so, at last, he hears the dearest words: “I’ve been waiting for you for so long.”

Only then happens the miracle of miracles—a new Life emerges!

Sometimes we search for a very long time, stubbornly, everywhere. And of course, we often feel disappointed: “Not this again.” Remember these statistics to calm yourself and keep searching.

What inside is so selective knows the treasure waiting for you.

Sincerely yours,

-Alexander
