In medschool, we are constantly bombarded with an insatiable amount of information, all of which we must chew and digest. This incessant learning is something we do 24/7, including weekends... and it's just hard. It's hard to make time for other things in life. It's hard to make time for family, for friends, for relationships, for hobbies, and for other things. There is little room for having passion in life, as it is mostly expected to be medicine and nothing else.
But well, I found it helpful to regain my passion for writing through this blog. I don't even know if anyone bothers to read my musings (Heck, I haven't even told anyone -- save for ONE friend -- that I am the proud owner of a blog in cyberspace; I didn't even give her the URL. Haha.). Still, this release and this need to be in touch with my inner thoughts and my creative cells drive me to constantly find things that interest me, things that I would find worthy to write about.
Usually it just begins with a thought, then I start typing. Words form and somehow, things eventually fall into place. Something that once began as an idea, springs into a coherent story, hopefully into a good piece at that.
I'm proud to say that so far, this blog has done just that: It has enabled me to release my thoughts and empower again my once sleeping (zombie-ish and routinary) brain.
It feels good to be passionate about something again.
