Yesterday evening, I discovered something very important to me. It hit me all of a sudden that frankly, I am not ready to work as a doctor.
No, it's not about the lack of knowledge, like so many of us proclaim. It's not because we don't have the experience. It's not because we don't know enough to be true doctors yet.
No. It's simply because I want to play.
I like to say that I'm an 8 year old stuck in a teenager's body. Face it - your basic teenager doesn't think for an instant that 'hey, I want to be a doctor'. I like to say that I've been forced by circumstances to be where I am today - half a teen, half a university student, with a little sliver of something more in between.
I don't think I see myself working as a doctor. Ever. I can see myself doing something 'artsy-fartsy' as someone so succinctly put it in KKB. Maybe even volunteer work. Maybe doing something on computers.
But hell no on the doctor scale.
You know how the liver has functioning and anatomical lobes? Anatomically the two halves are about equal.
At the moment though? The 18-i'm-a-teenager-not-a-doctor lobe is functioning more right now.
Now playing - Dopamine, mflo loves Emyli
It is truly alright.
