Humbled by the entire experience.
A personal and professional battle.
I wish I had documented more of this difficult journey. One thing this experience taught me is to stop stressing so much and simply enjoy the ride. For the longest time, I kept thinking I would finally be happy somewhere else, while failing to cherish the moment I was already living in - always rushing, always chasing the next thing.
When I look back at my medical college days, I sometimes wish I could tell my younger self not to stress so much, not to sacrifice every bit of joy, and to embrace every phase of item, card, prof as it comes.
Most importantly, I wish I had taken more pictures, and documented the little moments that once felt ordinary.
I want to carry this lesson with me moving forward: to capture more memories and cherish every bit of the chaos. Because you only live once, and I want to experience it all.
