Happy birthday, you were born in this world exactly 87 years ago, you experienced life. Don't you think it's beautiful?

Death is awful, yes, but it does come for all. Some living beings may be an exception, but no human being is an exception. Stop thinking negatively and think about what you've achieved.

Sadly, I understand what you're feeling. I wish there was something to help you feel safe and secure. I'd say "Just live life to the fullest" but that really sounds trite. It isn't that easy.

“So hold on loosely
And don’t let go
If you cling too tightly
You’re gonna lose control”

A very old song is playing which reminds me of when Papa Bear and I first met

I’d never heard of that band before

He played it in his car..

I agree

Without death I think I could tolerate all that other pain

I’m closer to death too.. but I’m not as old as you little turtle

This world is not secure or safe

thank you whispershadow...for the hugs

yesterday I felt terribly guilty about letting my family down...
I broke down after 5 years of private practice...a long time ago..
my family was impacted very much...I don't think I could of helped it..
but I feel personal GUILT that I did something wrong...
the guilt feelings are still there and they are strong...
today I have some relief after crying and sharing with friends...
I just don't understand this stigma that I put on myself...

"I have never regretted going into medicine. I'd do it again tomorrow, and I tell that to any youngster who is considering it. Medicine is a calling. It is more than a business. One can make money doing other things. But I chose medicine–surgery–because it combined a quest for knowledge with a way to serve, to save lives, and to alleviate suffering."

Well little turtle If I ever find a doctor with half the compassion and ethical attitude that you have (in this forest) I’ll count it a miracle.

I feel guilt sometimes for speaking my truth, but really why should I,

Doctors over here for the most part SUCK

Too many of them are Narcissists, they always are right even when they are wrong

Love and kindness are the greatest gifts we can offer ourselves and others.

If anybody's interested in rap remixes, it's gonna sound amazing and unorthodox. It's a real motivation kicker. One of the reasons why I am doing so good since I am practicing for the exam.

Sometimes I feel I am too childish to be a friend. Sometimes I feel I am too dramatic to be likeable. Sometimes I feel I am too stupid to be a doctor. Sometimes I feel I am too out of control to make my own future. Sometimes I feel I am too much damaged to be normal.

Then I snap out of my depression.

I am gonna be normal okay, a normal teenager. A normal med student. It may not happen in the first year of medical college, but eventually I am gonna attend parties and ride geared bikes. I am gonna have friends. This is one daydream that's gonna come true.

I may be inbred, sure, but who has perfect genetic makeup?
I may be abused, but who has no history of abuse? Greg House?
I may be isolated, but who doesn't come home to sleep?
I may lack basic skills, but which rocket scientist can rap?

All I need to be is HOPEFUL. Sure, I may never get to have rainbows and unicorns in my life, but I suffer from problems literally everyone has. I just have a greater extent of them. The extent hasn't killed me yet. So I should start killing the extent. How? As my primary doc put it, "You should never stop learning."

I might be being too dramatic, but why cannot we ALL hold hands in hands and try to make the world a better place?
