The Villain in the Mirror

Who’s a Villain?

The antagonist in everyone’s movie— Or simply the opposition to the imperfect exalted figure we call a "hero".

The exaggeration of a favored person, Framed to match our savior in the story of life. And when they fail—or become human— The fans immediately turn their backs. “On to the next,” they say.

The fair nature of the life we live in: The concept of ups and downs, Offended and offender, Victim and accuser— A flawed concept. One depends entirely on the other for its value.

What is a knight without war? An artist without a canvas? A hero without a villain?

Unlike the other scenarios, The identity of a villain lies in the hands of perspective— The only phenomenon that varies more than love. As formless as water, Yet as unstable as emotion.

So what is life without this? Meaningless, right?

Flawed.

Let’s talk.

What is good without evil? What is right without wrong? Where’s the left without the right?

“It’s all imagination,” they say. Right?

Then why was Thanos the villain? A man with a plan to save humanity from overpopulation— An issue most nations still complain about.

The end justifies the means, right? Yet Tony Stark was the savior.

Perspective, once again.

Could we be the actual villains? Holding people to unimaginably high standards— Standards we can’t even uphold ourselves?

So my question is:

—ARE VILLAINS ALSO VICTIMS?—

Doctors Get Tired Too;

As a doctor, you can never claim the 8-5pm regular work schedule. Even if you’re done with clinic hours, you go home people still call & message you. I know of this person whom I was asking for help about her work but she told me that office is done and she will address it tomorrow morning. How I wish we can tell that to the non emergent cases random people message us, every now and then. Countless.

In the office, you can tell them, I’m done with work. But in this profession, they expect you to address their concerns ASAP. Some will say, that’s totally up to you, learn to draw boundaries — work life balance. But in this profession, that’s such a thin line to distinguish. It’s a lifetime commitment and service to patients & other people, 24/7. You’re always on call.

And sadly, I think that’s where burn out comes in; where it sometimes gets tiring & draining. For the time you to give for yourself to rest and recuperate, you still give to others. This is a selfless job for others but a selfish one for your own self. But as physicians,— that’s our sworn hippocratic oath. We live by it.

I ❤️ all my supporters, especially everyone who believed me and loved me through this hard time of attack on my character. I am standing up for myself (which is new for me). There was NO stalking in Louisiana or fraud, despite the false accusatory statements or negative social media. NOW, I understand why news is called fake or NOT 100% real. NOW, I understand anyone can file a false report and lie to the police. NOW, I understand that there are wrongfully accused citizens in jail and NOW I know the legal process is difficult to understand/navigate. I have a voice and I’m spreading awareness for anyone who has been threatened, belittled, subject to immoral use of money/ power tactics, mistreated, silenced, or intimidated by overt use of wealth, status, or small town politics. #metoo #times up #theothersideofthestory https://www.instagram.com/p/Bou3S1vHEQY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=194jqbcj11ptz

Memories

Y de pronto una caida, una imagen, el reflejo de tu rostro en el espejo. Todo te hace daño, todo te mata, pero ya eres adicto a ese dolor. Ya no puedes levantarte, tu odio por ti mismo te atrapa. Y vuelven los demonios, vuelven despues de haberlos eliminado, despues de tanto esfuerzo, despues de tantos cortes, tanta sangre, tantas lagrimas. Pero no, aun no se acaba la lucha. Y a pesar de todo, sigo esperando a que abras mi puerta y me digas que soy el indicado para ti...

“You know I’ll never give up on you,right?”

I’m sorry I did…

I’m sorry we ended the way we did..

I’m sorry to be saving myself while you drown…

…I’m sorry I have to choose myself for the both of us.

I remember but I’m Sorry.

The words.

They ping along these lines, move into and poison the can-can drinnnngs in the alley-yard chambers of your dear, sweet, and Christ do I mean stupid heart. Because when the words belong to other people’s stories and you’re the chump who’s got to hear them all night long, bedroom wall to bedroom hall to basement channel to channel, the only thing worse than going wild without knowing it’s happening is knowing that it is but not having the words to explain it.
