Hello, Tumblr

I’ve almost forgotten about this account in the crazy crazy days of clerkship. Tonight I am writing so one day I will remember. At some point you will realize that you have done too much for someone, that the only next possible step to do is to stop. Leave them alone. Walk away. It’s not like you’re giving up, and shouldn’t try. It’s just that you have to draw the...

True and False

Love is unattractive. It can expose our worst traits: Jealousy, irrational fears, heated anger; the gang’s all here! While it can bring out compassion and tenderness, it can also make you behave like the ugliest version of yourself. That can be okay for a little while, but love with real longevity should be like a xanax rather than an adderall. You can stop taking quizzes in Cosmo. Here’s what...

Nick Hornby's Juliet, Naked

‎”The whole point of you is that you’re not the sort of person anyone fights over. You’re my easy life option. The moment you stop being that, you’re no option at all.” Why are some people allowed to have easy life options, and dispose of them that, well, easily? It’s unfair.

No regrets, just love

Thank you, 2010 - for the lessons, the trials, the friendships, the toxic and the benign. Thank you for always giving me a reason to smile, to laugh, to appreciate life. Thank you for being such a wonderful, wonderful year. Hello, 2011! Here’s to taking advantage of what’s left of ICC, to more beach trips, to perfect weather, to good food, to an even greater company, to learnings, to...

7AM will never be the same again

Four weeks went by so fast. I’ll be missing the 7am summary rounds and the feeling of impending doom I get whenever there’s an unresolved case of abortion because I’m always so sure that I’d get called and asked to explain the different types (threatened… closed cervix, uterine size compatible with AOG…). I never was called, though. With this rotation ending,...
