Hello. I used to be that super anxious, non-impulsive quiet girl who believed in right and wrong, black and white, and absolute truth. People told me what I believed, and what my potential was (they didn’t think I would amount to much). And I believed them.
Now I’m a medical student at a high ranking medical school living out dreams I would never have dreamt of as a child. While that anxious little girl still exists inside me, I believe life is a lot more complicated, and I am no longer scared of the world and making mistakes. You can love someone and let them go. You can still make mistakes and be loved. You can disagree with people, and yet still treat them with compassion and respect. You can plan for the future while still enjoying the present. I am trying more and more every day to embrace imperfection and to find comfort in those gray areas. I’ve always entertained the idea of a blog but never felt my life was interesting enough, or the time was right, or my writing skills up to the challenge. But it’s that type of indecisiveness I am trying to leave behind. So welcome to this space. I hope you find it entertaining, endearing, and maybe even enlightening.
