tattoo

So two years ago I got a tattoo. I really wanted to get it on my wrists but I had to think ahead and realize that this could conflict with my goal of becoming a pediatric neurosurgeon. So I decided to get the word PASSION on my side. It hurt like fuck, but it is beautiful@!!! I couldn't be more happy with it even today. (even though my mother has no idea). I have realized that passion is my life mantra and is part of everything I do. I know I won't be a surgeon right away and so I have to enjoy the journey and put passion into it along the way. My tattoo means so much to me and is just a constant reminder of my goals and my very identity.

Easter

I went home for easter this past weekend and got to hold a newborn!! She was so precious and incredibly tiny, holy cow. At first I didn't even know how to hold her and probably looked like an idiot in front of my boyfriends family. The mother was like "she's not as breakable as you think". I wasn't willing to test that out. But when you get to hold life like that in your arms, every problem you are facing or weight on your chest is lifted. I thinks its one of the most wonderful feelings in the world.
