I really didn’t think so. — Writing down thoughts and feelings for the world to see can be a tricky and risky thing to do. But I do it anyways. At first with caution. But now I almost do so with reckless abandon. I put my thoughts down for the world to see. I try not…

It’s been over 2 years since I last heard this song. It was playing on the radio while I was in the Uber. 5 seconds in and I recognised that familiar tune. Wonderland by Efe Oraka. I immediately told the uber driver to change the station. I didn’t want to…

A few claps would be nice. — One of my major love languages is words of affirmation. I love to hear the occassional ‘well done’, ‘you’re doing so well’. Maybe not occasional, I’d like to hear it often. I’d like to feel validated, like I’m doing the right thing. I do hear these words occassionally, but I…

It still hurts like it was yesterday. — I thought by now things would be easier. I thought I’d be over this pain. But what time has done is add some distractions to make me momentarily forget.

I was overwhelmed and very sad. But slowly and gradually, I got the hang of things. There was once a time…

Will I continue? — I’m done with my first posting. I enjoyed haemato-oncology, to the point where I now considered specialising in it. But I’ve slapped that thought out of my mind. I don’t think I can deal with all the drama it comes with lool. I learnt a lot, made a lot of…
