Can you tell that I’m worried? My life, my future and where that leads to. You can also sort of say that I’m worried of the unknown.
What catapulted myself into anxiety you ask. An acronym with 3 letters and it comes with a tacky interface.
UPU.
I’m scared shitless of not getting what I want. I really am. Because I really want this you see. The course I want, it’s sort of a popular course, scratch that, it’s a VERY popular course. One that every parent and every teacher drilled into the minds of every Malaysian to become. Sikit-sikit, “Jadilah doktor”.
Before, I can never imagine myself becoming a doctor. I hate gory things. Watch any Saw movie with me, I’ll scream bloody murder with my fingers plugging my ears underneath the blanket.
Don’t get me wrong, i still hate gore. But you know what? It’s not about what you don’t like, it’s what you do. It’s a fact that I love love love biology, but even that’s not the case.
What scares me the most is that I don’t want this because of popular opinion. Not because of the salary and not because so that I can be proud about it. Genuinely wanting something, you’ll get hurt if you don’t get it. What a cruel country this is. People only get the job because of their grades, not because of passion. No wonder we have such grumpy doctors here.
I’m also mad at myself. Why do I have to want something I can’t have?
Maybe I’ve been reading too much of dr halina’s blog. (bella is adorable btw). Her husband said to her “These people, it’s not their choice to be sick.. but you chose to be a doctor. Treat them nicely…”
my thoughts exactly.
Maybe this is a all a sign. Maybe I’m not meant for this? If Allah shows me the way, I’ll become whatever I’m destined to be. I have a million option. Just because I didn’t get something, I won’t let it become my limiting factor.
