Today, hopefully, is the first of many writings to come.
Introducing me: a twenty year old female, nursing student, food lover, and high achiever. I like the colour yellow (cadmium yellow deep, to be exact), and despise movie jump-scares, walking on slippery ice, and celery. And, I’m growing.
By growing I mean learning, maturing, dispelling my biases and realizing my strengths. Becoming the best nurse, woman, girlfriend, and general human being I can be. These things are important to me.
Over and over again, I’ve found comfort in writing my thoughts out -- reflecting on the workings of my mind. Overly dramatic, yes -- but helpful nonetheless! I’ve decided to document my thoughts here, in an aesthetically pleasing blog where I can read them for the months to come. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t get this idea from the movie Julie & Julia (which is one of my favourite films, I’m admittedly a sucker for Meryl Streep). I like to think I’m original and witty, but in reality this is probably very cringy. Oh well.
Tomorrow I begin my final clinical placement of my nursing education. I will work on a surgical unit for 3 months, and by the end, I will be a grown up nurse. It’s almost scarier than the movie jumpscares.
