Independence...

To my fragile self:

Independence is important and essential. Without it, you're like a rubber ducky floating on a deep and wide ocean without any direction. Of course, there are fishes and dolphins and all sort of breath-taking creatures in the ocean. They swim around you, poke you for a while, smile at you but nothing stay forever. You're not food, you're without benefit, no one will stay with you forever. Why let yourself attach to something and then suffer a broken heart when it floats away from you? 

Independence is the only thing you have and need to survive here. Hold on to it. Don't ever let go of it no matter how strong is the temptation. 

Most importantly, take good care of yourself. Do not expect others to do it.

From your very-much-annoyed self.

P.S: The higher a person climbs, the higher the chance of the person forgetting what it's like to be at the bottom. When you scorn medical students of being very annoying, do not forget that you're once a medical student, wandering around, asking questions, trying to learn something.
