Tonight I was reading through an old blog of mine and it struck me how much I have evolved and learned over the last few years. Medical school helped me grow into a much stronger person. I forget how fragile and afraid I was. I still am in many ways. But, I have become a much braver person, because medical school challenged me to grow. For that, I am forever grateful.

Thanks to being inspired by and drooling over this amazing woman's creativity for a few months now, I decided to put some work into my own blog tonight. I grabbed my camera this evening and took a walk in the park. I was determined to capture whatever I found interesting. I'm sad to say that I was too shy to snap the joyful girl that was happily running with her gorgeous white, fluffy dog. It was a beautiful moment. I wish I had one of those super long lenses, so that I could sneakily capture the scene. I was afraid that her mother would smash my face in. I mean it sort of is a bit weird for a stranger to be snapping away at your kid. And, after all, this is NYC. People are not necessarily that friendly. I really must find a way to capture people on camera without making myself look strange. It is quite difficult.

After I got home, I decided to try out picnik, which is amazing and, oh, so much fun! I am so amazed at the results. I feel like I am cheating, though!

I hate that creativity takes so much time and effort! I wish I had more time. I wish that this med school thing was over and done with. Sometimes I even wish I had never begun this arduous process. Looking back, I have no idea how I had the motivation.

I'm signing off for tonight. Have a beautiful evening. Sweet dreams.
