the concept and idea of “you can always start trying to be a better person” is extremely important to me both in media and irl and i continue to be deeply deeply disturbed by the trend on this site pushing that these ideas in media are bad writing or even morally reprehensible

because theyd rather someone stay terrible or just straight up die than become a better person 

from a compassionate point of view it’s deeply distressing and from a pragmatic point of view it’s outright frustrating

it’s fucked up.

I’ve been consistent with my anki and studying this Surgery rotation but sometimes I forget to post. Going to a café when I’m from duty and when OPD finishes early is becoming a habit and I like it.

I was dead post ER duty and was asleep until 5PM. I had dinner then studied after. Slow, but I’m satisfied. It’s more important to be kinder to one’s self.

We finished OPD early today (out patient department). I went to a cafe by the sea after (my favorite!) which I struggled and persisted. I went home after, had dinner, and now I’m all bathe and cozy in my PJs resting, before I study again later. I’m maximizing my free time for studying because only a few months left before compre exam and then PLE (physician licensure exam). Time just flies by!

I just did my paper in emergency medicine (my last day tomorrow!!!! Thank God!!). I enjoyed it very much but I’m oh so tired, so exhausted. :( I came from PM shift last night we had 7 intubations, and I had to stay up for interns’ hour but fell asleep immediately because of my exhaustion.

I accomplished everything else for my rehab and ED rotations so now I just have to do my anki cards, diary, then go home to sleep before my preduty shift tomorrow in ED. Life is good, life is very busy. Sometimes I wonder if this is all worth it.

Some snaps from our date today!!! Really had fun. We were supposed to go to the museum but it was too crowded so we went to a cafe and walked. We visited a quaint bookstore next with antiques, then we had a massage. Ended our day by having dinner by the sea. What a fulfilling day outside medicine.
