On moving out:

When people say you find yourself when you move out, what they mean is that you find out how to govern yourself. You find out your priorities, hobbies, and habits. You decide how you decorate and how much money you are allowed to spend. You discover what you value. You get a glimpse of yourself when no one is watching.

You might realize you are not the labels that define you. Nor are you the person society expects of you. You’re not your past or previous actions. You’re simply experiencing existence. A consciousness defined in stone, despite being made of flesh. Maybe we are our thoughts, which by nature are fleeting and temporary. Did I find myself after moving out? Who am I looking for? The answer is subject to change.

Once I die, my life will be over. Parts of it will be revised, edited and eventually forgotten. Where do I find myself then?

It bothers me so much that the healthcare system relies so much on the patient's ability to advocate for themselves, organize their history, and be so persistent against every medical “professional” who says there’s nothing wrong/they can do. But so many struggle with fatigue, brain fog, and face such ingrained systemic barriers, that the people who need and deserve help and support can’t access it.

I saw something recently that resonated with me: “Access shouldn't depend on who has the energy to fight for it.” And I’ve never agreed with anything more.

Fourth Year of Medical School

Feeling emotional. Gained ton of weight, and muscle over the years. Missed out on birthdays, weddings, and funeral. Not sure if it’s nostalgia, but I am yearning for something. Feeling too old and too young.

Heartwarming story: Little girl doesn’t have to do anything to fund her dad’s surgery because his expenses are covered by his country’s universal healthcare.

Human determination: Man bikes 18 miles to work every morning because he wants to and not because he can’t afford a car and would be fired if he’s late.

Spirit of Brotherhood: Neighbors host housewarming party for elderly resident who doesn’t need help in paying rent because his pension is more than enough.

SO INSPIRING: Local middle school students bake dozens of cupcakes because their home economics class is doing a baking unit. Their school is fully funded with everything they need.

Board studying took a backseat to a back injury. Couldnt walk for over a week. Finally able to stand without pain and do anki and questions. Feel so grateful for every sensation I took for granted. Easing back to the studying and hopefully lifting too

jokes to make after failure that aren’t self-deprecating:

I’m the best to ever do it

Nobody saw that (best if said loudly)

No one’s ever done it like me

I could be President/they should make me President

Behold, a mere fraction of my power!

The public wants to be me soooooo bad

I’m an expert in (thing you just failed at)

How could this have happened to god’s favorite princess?

Nothing ibuprofen and a glass of water cant fix

I’m being sabotaged
