I am a passionate person.
Really. I feel emotions very strongly (sometimes too much so), and although sometimes it can be a bit exhausting, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Having passion adds depth and color to my world, and I can’t imagine surviving the dullness that would pervade if I lost that. As such, I honestly believe that I will never be truly happy with a man who doesn’t feel things as strongly...

MY LIFE AS A MED STUDENT: the hard truths of med... →
mylifeasamedstudent:
Firstly, let’s play homage to the ultimate cliche—I have referenced the Scrubs theme song in a post about med school.
Med school is competitive. You’re ranked according to your performance. You’re constantly compared to your colleagues and studying becomes a matter of keeping up with the…
I’ve been wanting to draft something very similar to this for a while...

mylifeasamedstudent:
On my first day of clinical placement, I met a patient who was going to die. I found myself speechless. What do you say to a patient resigned to his own fate? To a patient with rapid-onset cancer and for whom living months longer than his prognosis is his achievement? Are there words for such a…

You know you're a med student when...
The one study break you allow yourself the night before an exam consists of showering at 12:30am so you won’t have to waste time with it in the morning.
Oh med school.
Back to studying…

The Glee Project - Bing Fan Favorite! →
Love these guys! Anyone else expect to see Cameron show up on GLEE at some point? Oh yeah, it’s gonna happen. ;)
And congrats to Damian!! I was rooting for you the whole time, buddy!

Robin Hood →
Slightly obsessed with this TV series right now. Go watch it on Netflix (click the title for the link)- and proceed to fall in love with every single character. Except the Sheriff of Nottingham, of course. No one likes him - but that’s kind of the point. ;)

a misanthrope's anhedonic thoughts:... →
thisisnotpsychology:
There is a huge problem in the mental health care system, which is that patients are often treated one-sidedly. But at any rate it depends on the issue.
Let’s say someone has built a very negative image of themselves their entire life which leads to several problems such…

Never settle. No matter how tempting it may seem, it simply isn’t worth it in the end.

How could I ever describe
gabylove:
What words do for me?
That they comfort me when I am Far, far away from myself And give my breath a voice That arches over my lame tongue
That they give me tangibility A way to say what I need to say Without anyone really knowing Exactly what I want
Words, you have given me Frustration Refuge Desire Madness and Hope
Five to put me to sleep tonight.

To see the unseen.
An example of faith was found on the wall of a concentration camp. On it a prisoner had carved the words:
I believe in the sun, even though it doesn’t shine. I believe in love, even when it isn’t shown. I believe in God, even when he doesn’t speak.
I try to imagine the person who etched those words. I try to envision his skeletal hand gripping the broken glass or stone that...

When you are a Starbucks Gold Card member
And this is why I need to move to Seattle. Now. I feel like it would make all my troubles just disappear. The next 3 years really can’t go fast enough…
Patience is a virtue...
but that doesn’t mean it’s easy.
Sigh.
