Of Ends & New Beginnings

Eleven months ago I was about 20% suicidal. A lot has happened since then.

Graduated just three days ago. It was really very emotional for me because I never really thought I'd make it this far. I'm actually a doctor now can you believe it?

Many years ago I wrote something about myself that I felt made perfect sense. & it really has this past year; "If anyone were to fall for me, I daresay it wouldn't be for my looks, but rather the way they get to be themselves when they're with me."

I have learnt so many things this year. A lot more than I have in a while. I've learnt not to judge anyone solely on the way they look, because even the ones most displeasing to the eyes have qualities about them which you cannot help but to love and admire.

If anything, or if something is meant for you, you will have it somehow. You may have to walk through hell and back to get it, but it will be yours for the taking if that's what God has decided.

My religion and spiritual life is for no one to talk about except me. I've been thinking a lot about what it means to be religious and what it means to be spiritual. I may not go to church religiously every Sunday. I may not say grace before every meal or thank God for the day He's given me before I sleep every night, but I know deep down that I am who I am and I am where I am because of Him. There are days I may be so disconnected from God that I feel lost. But there will always be days after that where I know he has picked me  up again. I do not fear about my future. I know I have decisions to make, and I know in due time what those choices will be.

I know the kind of person I have become. I no longer tolerate people who don't bring me peace or happiness. Everyone has flaws. I have flaws. But I know when I am wrong. Anyone who does not, has no place in my heart. And I have let so many go because of that. I am a lot lighter because of it. I no longer tolerate people who are not honest about their feelings for me. I'm tired of being used, played and kept as an option. There is a limit to my kindness.

I don't allow anything to upset me for very long. I might think about it for a day or two, then tell myself to let it go. Most days it is easier said than done. Some days I relapse. But I am almost always at peace because of it.

It feels like the year just started and here it is coming to an end. Next year will bring a whole new set of challenges which I'm bracing myself to face. As much as I'm independent and capable of taking care of myself, I'm hoping that in the coming year I will also finally meet my other half. My heart is ready.

My heart is ready.

It's Dr., Now!

It's been 10 days since my final professional exam & announcement of my results. I'm a doctor. & though I've been studying my entire life to reach this stage it still feels so surreal. It still feels like I need to head back south to continue with classes. Like I'm still on some semester break that is going to come to an end. Every so often throughout my day it hits me; I don't have to study anymore - for now at least. But then this though gets clouded over by other things & I forget. I have to constantly keep reminding myself that I've made it. I've actually, finally made it this far. As daunting as this whole new chapter - that's about to begin - is, part of me is excited to start. I'm excited to see where my future takes me, not only in which field of medicine I decide to pursue but also to which place. Big cities are out of the question for me. I realized, over the past couple of days, that since I've left th...

#100

We had our Christmas event yesterday evening. Caroling practice was only for 4 days because it was such short notice but everyone did a fantastic job.  And I've finally lost my voice.  I think we clean up pretty nicely despite looking like ogres on usual weekdays. Heh. Almost done with our Paeds posting. Another week before exams begin. Will be spending a few days at home for Christmas. Not too sure about New Year, though. Really don't want to spend it alone here. Hmm. Updates, updates. Let's see. My Vaio is giving me some problems. I took it to the computer centre the other day and they updated my graphic driver but videos still aren't playing properly. Wonder if it's the display driver that needs to be looked into.  Still not sure if I'll be upgrading my Lenovo to the Xperia. Crossing my fingers in the hopes that mom & dad will surprise me for Christmas :P Went around looking for a rabbit a week ago but couldn't find one. Really ...

Damn Son

"Before you let a man sweep you off your feet, come here lemme talk to you.  Before you let a man sweep you off your feet, be sure he is prepared to catch you when you fall. You might be too much woman for him.You might be too independent. Too smart. Too much of a catch. He may not be ready for the weight of how beautiful you are. How gorgeous you are. How strong you are. He may not be ready yet. You, have to be prepared...to be yourself regardless of if he can carry you or not. So it's important for you to know his past. His attributes. His strengths. If he's prepared to handle how beautiful you are. How gorgeous, how so awesome you are. So, I'm here to tell you...that it's super important for you to take your time. Don't just listen to sweet nothings. Don't listen to words, watch actions. Because you're too fragile to be dropped.  Your heart is way too valuable to be mishandled.  And your brain don't need a bruise. So before ...
