My grandmother is precious
:]
this is the type of relationship i want. too adorable!!
I hate physics. I’m sleepy. I’mma nap…
I just made another hospice visit. And although my patient lives in a memory care facility and she is often confused, she reiterated some things that I’ve been told a million times by people whose opinion mattered little to me. She felt disrespected often and described her interaction with health professionals as “being treated like zombies.”
Right then and there I had some realization. I mean…I’ve had the realization before, but this time it really meant something. How physicians really should treat their patients like human beings rather than broken machines. And then later she talked about her being in her 90s and and her acceptance of oncoming death. This visit was so different from the others.
Last week, I was “Bobby” the man who ran the facility. Today I was “Bobby” the man who’s going to be a great physician in the future. My name isn’t Bobby, but she associates Bobby with all things good and the staff pretty much gave me that name.
I hate walking to the wrong parking lot on campus. They are at opposite corners. It’s a 10 minute walk. So I’m spending 20 alone minutes walking to my car. Fml
To summarize my life goals.
meinchi said: Too many goals. Can’t seem to find a way to balance it all.
Whelp. My sister was spot on. There are so many facets of my life and I have goals in each of those areas. The ultimate goal is trying to find a way to balance it all. And that’s sort of where I’m struggling.
At first I did this just to reflect on how I’m trying to balance everything I need to do to get into a medical school. But as I was creating the balance, I remembered that that’s only a portion of what I want from my life. So I added more branches.
And the balance is symbolic to me because…it’s a six-way balance. You have to be extremely precise with it or else it’ll immediately fall over on one point. Every little detail matters. Once you you have a little extra weight on one dish, it’s immensely difficult to figure out how to bring it back to a balance.
Balance is a struggle. I think everyone can relate to that in some way.
Here’s Your Letter
(Title is a Blink 182 song reference)
I saw a friend post something about a letter they wrote to themselves when they were in middle school meant for their future selves. I’ve never done that (or I don’t remember doing anything like that?). But I think I want to do something right now.
Here I am as a 21-year old. With my current thoughts and perspective on life, spirituality (or lack thereof), happiness and fulfillment. I’m aware that these things may change. I’m just curious about how I’d react as a 30-year-old reacting to my 21-year-old self. I really do hope some things stay the same though. Then again, I thought that way when I was 12, but I really prefer how I am at present.
Well whatever. I am going to write a letter to myself. About my goals and what it means right now to me to have a fulfilling life; what I care about at present time; and everything that I want to happen in the future while still maintaining that things may not go according to plan and that’s okay.
