Hey!
Welcome, I hope that you enjoy yourself here. I’ll be as real as I can. It’s my hope that you can open up too. Being able to anonymously release burdens and be understood is paramount to being free.
Aim of this blog:
I’ve started this site for those who like me haven’t found a place that really fits them. I don’t want to be reading through sites where people are always on their A game and have little to worry about while studying for the boards. I don’t want to be reading a blog by someone who has a perfect life and perfect set of circumstances.
I’m more motivated by those that have seen darker moments and have the courage to begin again and find happiness in those single rays of light. I want to be reading about comebacks, triumphs, of people getting back up and brushing off. I want to see someone say, “I’m still here. I’m still standing and I’m ready to start again.” (Cue: action movie music.) But since I haven’t found that for myself, I’ll say it:
“I’m still here. I’m still standing and I’m ready to start again.”
About me:
I love being around people. Yes, I’m a huge people person. I’ve also recently gone vegan. (I know, I know, how do you know if a person is vegan?….hardy har har..:p) But, to know me it’s necessary to know an integral part of me. It is now integral to who I am as a person. Because of the entire process from being unaware and apathetic to being informed and enthusiastic for change,I certainly do appreciate life more. In a way, I defend and protect life more as well. It’s made me develop into a better person and therefore I’m sure a better doctor.
My newer goal is to one day start animal sanctuaries to save those animals, who were injured, abused, abandoned or thrown away. And of course, I’ve always wanted to help humans, who are vulnerable too. That’s solely why I decided to become a doctor. Lofty goals sure but well they keep me moving forward and continue to inspire me.
As far as my medical journey is concerned, take peace in knowing that none of you are alone. I’m reading with you. I’m scribbling nonsense in my First Aid book with you. Staying up late, ripping out my hair, wondering if my plan is the best plan, I will be with you. Solidarity, right?
I’ve gone through my own set of trials and tribulations. Life has been messy for many many years now. But here I am. I’ll never give up. It’s not in me. And am happy with who I’ve eventually become. Now, I certainly want to put my attention onto my career and achieve my goals with renewed enthusiasm.
Life is beautiful. Sometimes we have to toss our old glasses. Yup, just made that one up. :p ~KU
