Its been awhile since I blogged here, I apologize! Life has been busy as of late because of work. I do look forward to work, somewhat, but I sure have learned a lot.. Not only nursing related that I learn from my charge nurses, but towards my residents as well! It's funny that they don't directly say it to me. I realize it whenever they share me a moment that happened in their life.
As of late, I realized that I am not passionate about anything. I think that nursing isn't my passion, but I always found the medical field very fascinating (too bad I'm not smart enough to become a surgeon). I can't draw, sing, write (I only write letters and blog.. but I had a silly dream of finishing a novel), the only instrument I can play, I am terrible at. So, nothing at all. NOTHING.
However, not having any distinct talents still made me grateful about my life. I have goals. I want to travel and have a degree in life. I am yearning for stability, expanding my circle of 'close friends', learning about another person's culture and lifestyle so I can become more open minded.. So then I realized that I am very passionate about living.
I learned this from the old people I take care of at work. I have a patient whose words would convey that she has been through a lot and now she is there at a nursing home reminiscing everything. She had lived, she would say. I want to go through a lot in my life (hopefully mostly good) so that one day, I can say that I've lived..
