🫀010: Before I forget
To be absolutely frank with you, after a month of patient-facing work, it feels like I don't know what to write about anymore.
I miss writing. I miss the buttery smooth feeling of typing on this keyboard. I miss sitting in silence and crafting pretty words
Mind you, I'm loving my job at the hospital, minus a couple of oddities. But there's just always something happening, all the time. It's go time from my morning bus ride all the way till work ends.
So yes, I do miss the quietness of sitting alone on the bar stool of a cafe, shutting out the world around me, and just, rest, and write.
The greatest irony is, with all that I've experienced in the past month and all the thoughts that have went through my mind, I'm at a loss of words when it comes time to sit down and translate those mind connections into words.
But I knew I had to try somehow.
So I wrote this 👇
I wrote it in the hopes that I won't forget. The fire, the flames, the heat of a thousand suns. Heat borne of fresh enthusiasm and also a stressful-but-manageable work induction.
I need to be reminded. Lest the embers turn into spent coal.
Here's to working hard, documenting frequently, and remembering even more.
With love, joy, and hope,
Mich

It was my first time outside of Asia, and the new environment allowed me the time and space to reflect and plan. getting to see wombats up close 😍 definitely my highlight of...
It’s hard being a modern human. We’re being bombarded left and right by conflicting ideas. Speak louder! Keep quiet! You should do more! Less is more! Your problem is you don’t speak up! Your tone of voice is causing you problems! It’s more crucial than ever to be able to find clarity in this increasingly confusing world. Our minds and beliefs are being pulled left and right by people with opposing points of view and way more influence than us. As an absolute introvert myself, I know how it...
We often overlook one very important aspect of communication. I would even argue it’s the most important aspect. Before I tell you what that is, let me first share with you with a lesson I learned this week. Trust me, it’ll all make sense. A few days ago, I was lamenting how I usually have this incredible zest when starting out at a new job or learning something new. I’m always gripped by this unexplainable obsession to do something well or get something right. Recently though, I’ve...
