the medicine & anatomy students
a pristine white coat, worn with pride
intricately labeled diagrams
studying models of anatomy until you could describe them with your eyes closed
reading research published on niche topics
the mingling scents of disinfectant and anesthetics
focused eyes and steady hands as you perform a dissection
heavy textbooks piled on your shelves
detailed notes, understanding each subject inside and out
the rush of your own heartbeat in your ears
visualizing the muscles and tendons and arteries and all buried beneath your skin
the fluorescent glow of hospital lights
reciting the hippocratic oath
a stethoscope hanging around your neck
a fascination with the workings of the human body
shadows under your eyes from studying late into the night
learning the history of medicine
growing accustomed to the sight of blood
cups of black coffee, feeling the caffeine work its way through your veins
memorizing the names of bones and muscles
tracking the course of your own illnesses and injuries
antique anatomical drawings pinned to your walls alongside your own sketches
strong attention for detail, a gift for precision
the cool metal of surgical instruments
knowing the exact effect of various medications on the body
i am once again fighting the urge to disappear

あなたはいつも私の一日を完成させます

the fact that after gansey died on the highway and all that insane shit went down he and the lads still went to school for another 4 months..... can u imagine u have just died (for the second time) (after having kissed ur gf (who is half tree) for the first time) while ur best friend had black dripping out of his ears because a magical forest u discovered was being unmade by a literal demon shaped like a megahornet which just possessed ur other best friend. and then a day later ur sitting in calculus
—do you ever tell your parent that what if you couldn't do it and all they say is “i know you will”. no mom. what if i didn't? what if i disappointed you? what about the backup? what about my guilt? where do I keep this feeling? why is it so heavy? what if i fail? what then? will you still think of me as your brightest kid? will you still use me as an example for my siblings? will i be an example? what if i couldn't be that intelligent always making you proud kid? what if i fail mom? why is this feeling so heavy? where do I keep it mom? where do I keep this courage? you've made me so hard i beg for softness
i am a tragedy enjoyer before i am human
