I'm a former road dog that returned to the machine about two years ago. It's for a good reason, a broader understanding of medicine, something that I could give back and share. Even though I know in my heart that it's the right thing to do it can get a little weird at times. I mean, even two years later, sometimes I wake up and the alarm clock is a complete mystery. I have these moments where I feel very weak in the face of alot of the hatred and distrust that is going around, and then it rubs off on me and I get this gnawing feeling of corrosion. It's like being on an alien planet. Times like this, I want to just go and roam and leave it behind. I can't though, this really is the path with heart. Just wondering if there's anyone else out there that has experienced this and might have a few kind words of inspiration or good direction. On the same note, extending a hand to anyone who might have just stepped into it. Peace to the brothers and sisters out there who are spreading much needed love and understanding.
so much love to you brother (((((hugs))))) I wish I had some good advice, but all I can really say is that you've got a great goal, don't let go of the drive that brought you to where you are. Learning is a beautiful thing. After reading your posts I can tell that you're gonna take what knowledge you aquire and put it to some real good, have faith that the universe has brought you to this point for a reason, stay strong
dont loose sight of your goals bro, use "the machine" as a tool. i always said 98% of people suck the journey in life is meeting that 2 percent!!
((((((((((((((((Pear Tree Philosophy)))))))))))))))))))))) Be content with the path you have chosen, a year is but a blink of Heaven's eye, and the machine is a monster only as a whole, disect it and there are beautiful souls... How's that? Becca
*hug* I was curious, are you formally enrolled somewhere, have you plans after you've "finished" the learning ? I find it hard myself day to day, to keep my chin up when I feel like I'm among alot of people who are not "awake" to thier own higher sense of self... I am a free thinker, and I currently live in the bible belt of Virginia.
Many, Many thanks for all the good hugs Yes, I'm officially enrolled towards a PA license and I plan on doing things with it once I get it. Since I first posted this I've found out about alot of other people with degrees in the health sciences that are doing good things in the world. Cheerio, I'll be joining them soon enough. I live in the buckle of the belt so I can definitely relate. btw... moons ago I travelled through VA around L burg and there were some kids there that were just incredibly cool to us.
very cool. I've found the youth are easier to relate to as they still question alot about life. May I ask a PA license in what? (not trying to pry). I have a degree in MIS which I decided not to pursue, I am applying to a local 2 year program for respiratory therapy for next fall. I figure I could feel good about going to work doing that. I originally was trying to get into dental hygeine but if you can believe it, its too competative.
Ha , yep backstabbin' mofo's. How can I screw the student next to me over to get ahead? That kind of thing. I posted a thread about it here Guess the bottom line is that most of the time it doesn't get me down because I'm pretty apathetic to the games. Then other times I just want to stand up and direct everyone to kiss my gluteus maximus. At the end though, I think that piece of paper will probably be worth it. There's a host of good organizations and non-organizations out there that don't revolve around the all might dollar.
