Whether you’re having a hard time
getting that 4.0 that’s going to get you
into medical school, or you’re going through a bad breakup or maybe your
health is failing you. Whatever the case, you will be okay. You’re going
through a rough patch right now and it probably hurts. It’ll hurt tomorrow and
maybe the day after. But one day, you’ll wake up and it’ll hurt just a little
bit less.
Wherever this road leads you to is
where you are meant to go. Perhaps this means becoming an architect rather than
a doctor. Perhaps this means forgetting him because there’s someone else
waiting for you. Perhaps this means your book is ending and you are writing the
last sentence. Whatever the case, close your eyes and take a deep breath.
Smile. No, not that forced muscle movement that you call a smile. Think of
something or someone that you love. Smile. You are going to be okay.

Venissa, you are so strong :) It's amazing that you can not only persevere, but write encouraging posts like these while dealing with something so difficult <3
ReplyDeleteIn pathology class the other day, Ewings sarcoma was briefly mentioned on a lecture slide, and I immediately thought of you. I also read your other post about the new treatment you're going through and the tattoos you had to get...man, it sounds terrible :(
The funny thing (not funny...more coincidental) is that I'm learning about cancer and MRI/CT etc. in my classes since my program is medical radiation, and it's one thing to learn about all the concepts, but it's another to actually know someone who's dealing with it, and having to go through all these imaging tests to view the tumors etc. I even have friends who recently got tested on their skill of tattooing patients (they're in the radiation therapy specialization).
Anyway, I don't always comment, but I still read all your posts! Keep persevering <3
Still praying for you!
Thanks Lily! I've had some very amazing radiation technicians and I'm sure you'll be even better! (if that's what you want to do)
