I Know You’d Never Believe This By Looking At Me Right Now, But I Used To Get Picked On At School Too.

"They told me all of my cages were mental, So I got wasted like all my potential."

Forget hot girl summer, it’s raven boy summer this year. Go make extremely codependent new friends. Go awaken an ancient evil. Go, uh… murder your Latin teacher. Have fun!!

 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

Society’s obsession with “intelligence” and “talent” is so unhealthy. When can we finally praise passion and practice or even just interest or the ability to enjoy something?

Maybe then not as many people would feel like utter failures if they don’t immediately succeed at shit, just because that’s what they were praised for as kids.

Okay? Okay. Thanks.

"I think my life is of great importance, but I also think it is meaningless."

-Albert Camus

You know I always hear about gifted kids who stayed working and ended up getting burn out because they were constantly pushing.

But what about gifted kids who just stopped?

I was considered a gifted kid for my whole childhood but at one point I just stopped working cause I believed I was better than everyone, so my grades slipped a lot.

I went from passing everything with flying colours and people wanting to push me up 2 grades, to failing every class and not knowing what to do with myself.

And the worse thing about this is when all anyone can do is compare you to when you were 7.

Anyone else?

May you live an existence that doesn’t require constant resilience.
