Hi anonymous. I’m getting an awful lot of this question lately. Physically, exhaustion sums it up. It’s a combination of fucked up circadian rhythms due to the stupidity in trying out polyphasic slee...
For the first time in, well, possibly ever: considerable doubts in entering medicine. Not sure how this came about but there was this sudden nagging that just said, “Hey, maybe this isn’t...

Again and again, it never fails to amaze me that inadvertent hiatuses, at least on my behalf, generally falls during periods of relative non-stress. In other words - when there’s no reason for ...
By sheer unco-ness I managed to bang my big toe on a concrete/gravel floor today and it started bleeding. A lot. At first I thought it was pretty superficial but now it’s getting a little bit b...
Went for my first Open Water Dive lesson today! My mother was always scared of the water as she cannot swim, and as a result all of her kids (myself included) have never really participated in water-...
Just came out of the worst performance I’ve ever played/been in. Currently on a low with an intensity that is pretty shocking. I’d say it about equals what it felt like a month after I br...

Sometimes I feel like I’m running out of time. But why? And time for what?
“Where do you see us in the next 2 years?” “I don’t know. I mean I don’t know where you’re going next year.” Silence. “You feel the same way right?” “Right. Yeah, totally.” Except what I couldn’...

…but you know that feeling when you’ve bitten more than you can chew? Right now I feel like I’ve taken up, or am hoping to take up, all these activities/opportunities and they’...
There is a moment, a second that can feel like eternity, the space between asleep and awake, where things reaches clarity. This morning, there was no pain. No wistfulness. No rage or frustration or a...
Hello there. Things are pretty chill and quiet. Keeping busy and overloading has kept me exhausted which has kept me well occupied from thinking too much. Not that there’s much to think about, I’m in...

Okay, so I didn’t get around to writing every day. But here’s a little recap of one of the major themes of the past two weeks and what has been described as the greatest pandemic of all time - HIV/AI...
I think it’s close to exactly a year, give or take a few days. As was promised by everyone I talked, screamed, cried to - pain passes. Everything passes. Numbness allows for the blockage of emotion. ...
I’m going to try this thing where I sum up my day’s lectures, both as a learning tool for me, and who knows, maybe for others? Alongside the added bonus of me writing everyday. Yay! No? Okay, whateve...

Can everybody please watch this film and appreciate how beautifully it captured life? It is quite stunning, in a really understated way.
If I was fire, I would be merciless. To burn and burn with no respite, destroying everything in sight until eventually, when nothing’s left to burn, I will destroy myself. If I was earth, I would be ...
