A note to a close friend who is already in the profession I'm going into
hmm.. had thought of it many times. The last time I was near to it happened 7 months ago and I was about to give up my path. I was debating whether the path I had chosen was a good one because while many people are happy with what they have, I'm still trying to walk down that path quietly and lonely. I wish I were someone else, having a normal life- a happy and simple life.
However, getting that medical degree really means something to me. Choosing this path, I knew I was going to lose many "happy" things including my loved ones and I indeed lost three people along the way (just during the time in Canada).
I can't give up - partly I'm already too deep into it, partly I'm stubborn and mainly I know I'm going to regret for the rest of my life if I don't do it. The thinking of not doing it killed me every day last winter and I lost 15lbs.
By the end, I gave up my love and chose to walk down that path alone, chose to close my heart and follow my dreams.
A long journey ahead and I have never been as much calm and excited as I am right now.
I believe in fate. If it's fate, I shall meet the RIGHT one that I treasure the most one day.
and you know what, Hao? we're too young. Don't be scared! Keep walking down your path and Im sure your loved ones will always be there waiting for you. If you haven't found one yet, you will one day :)
