Endings & Beginnings

So this is what it feels like to turn away from everything you've been working for (on the outside) for the past years, to set fire to a path that guarantees you success, prestige, and "meaning" - the world. In some ways, perhaps I've just torched my future in the eyes of most people, but no matter what happens, I'll always look back and be proud of myself for the courage I had to do this.

I just withdrew from medical school. Wish me luck please, because I'm definitely going to need it.

  3. Wow, that's a courageous and fabulous thing to do! I would also find it very hard to withdraw from something I'd signed up for but I really believe doing what it takes to make you happy is absolutely and always the right thing to do - as I've done so many times. So, good luck with whatever you'll do next! As a reader of your blog I'm excited to hear what's next!

  4. Thanks, everyone! I'll keep you all updated through this blog. It's liberating to have "no future" but scary at the same time...
