Five years ago I was still in undergrad, hoping and praying I had what it took to get into medical school. Now, 5 years later, I am a third year medical student, making my way through rotations. I cannot believe how far I have come, and though I doubt myself often, I know I worked hard to get here and I will keep working hard throughout life to be the best physician I am capable of.
Just another word to remind me of the fact that I am not in a relationship. Don't stress, they say. You'll find someone, they say. It's important to be available and open to a new relationship. But I'm not an item available on a shelf. I am a person, who just wants to be loved.
What is past is done, but still weighs heavy on my back. The ache fills me, and I cannot be anesthetized with the mere fact that it is over. It is still with me.
Past, Present, Future. What is the most important of the three? Is it the past, with all of it's lessons, experiences, and memories that defines who you are today? Or is what you are at this moment exactly that? Just a moment in the present and a snapshot that will change in the future. Or is it the future? Is it your hopes and dreams and aspirations that make you who you are?
