To The Doctors Who Helped Me Get My Life Back, Thank You

It has been a hard two years that is for sure. Two years filled with the worst pain of my life. Two years of watching my mental and physical health deteriorate. But in those two years, I met some of the most talented doctors. I met the doctors that helped me regain control of my life. Guys, this one is for you.

People cannot even begin to imagine what you guys have gone through to get where you are today. The sacrifices you have made in order to become the best in your field. The heartbreak you have endured. The triumphs that kept you going. The doctors you all are today did not happen by accident. You were born to do this and I thank God every day that you chose to embark on the journey of medicine.

I came to many of you a scared college kid begging for help but I left feeling stronger than ever. You all helped me in ways that I will never be able to repay you for. It has been a grueling two years but with every appointment, I feel myself getting a tiny bit better, a little bit more myself.

Something you all may not know is that I have always wanted to go into healthcare. My dream job as a kid was an ER doctor. When I first went to college, my dream was to become the manager of a hospital. Today, I am studying psychology and business but one thing remains as clear as ever — I want to enter the healthcare field in some way. I want to help people and you all solidified that for me.

Now I know you guys will probably never see this article, but if it happens to find you, I hope you take time to read it. More importantly, I hope it makes you realize just how grateful I am for every single one of you. I hope it makes you realize that all of your hard work has paid off. I wouldn't be where I am without you. I truly owe it all to you. Thank you for everything.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
