saving lives

behind life lies death...

there is always cons to pros..
the cartessian plane always has a negative axis...
in life there is always a beginning and an end...
either way, we still breathe, live, and enjoy life...

i didn't really like the idea of being a nurse.
i was just forced to take up this course.
in this profession, we promote health, prevent illness and provide simple treatment.
in other words, WE SAVE LIVES!

a patient sees you like a god..
they stop seeing you as a person and begin seeing you as something bigger than you are..

we have to be this way, as gods..
.otherwise, we're just like anyone else..
uncertain, flawed, .. normal..
so we act strong, we remain stoic..
we hide the fact that we are also human...

we are not allowed to make mistakes..
or else someone's life will be a waste..

however, questions in my mind are still intact..
why did i chose to be here?..to be who i am right now?..
even if i'm forced to do so..i still have the power to overthrow their supremacy..
but guess what?..i was motivated by what merideth said in Grey's Anatomy,

"I can’t think of a single reason why I should be a surgeon,
but I can think of a thousand reasons why I should quit.
They make it hard on purpose…
there are lives in our hands.
There comes a moment when it’s more than just a game,
and you either take that step forward or turn around and walk away.
I could quit but here’s the thing, I love the playing field."

i am loving the battleground..
heroic and humane..

i had to be here..or else i won't..
my passion should surmount my regrets..
i would ceased to exist like a regretful 'aimee'..
but instead, i would run the race and finish it..
win or lose..
at least i've fought a good fight..=]
