LOVE: The Narrative

So, I didn't write this (chuckles).
It was written by a final year medical student- somebody will now tell me medical students have no life outside their books (*yinmu*).
Enjoy this beautiful narrative.

When you love what you can’t have!

Oh let us be clear, loving who you can’t have!

You stay awake all night thinking about her

It causes you pain but you still love her

You go about in the day carrying the burden

Here you go…she smiles back at you

Your day is beautifully made.

You wish she sees things the way you do

You wish she feel things the way you do

At some point, you tell yourself ‘she does’

But only get more pain b’cos you are uncertain

Then, you hope and pray the feeling passes

You even try to block  thoughts of her

Alas, days have gone, months have passed, years have elapsed

She is ‘the’ what makes the order of your emotions, thoughts and feelings

The one fear you have most!!!

She never gets to know how exactly you feel

Then you live most of your days unhappy,

You'd probably die carrying a burden to the grave

No!

So you finally summoned courage

To go utter your mind to her.

You got to the door- you couldn’t knock

Alright, let’s do this…

You knocked and you are welcomed in

Now, your tongue is stuck to the roof

Then you smile- finally you speak

Just came to say hi

Oh! Oh! Oh!

I think I’m gonna be out of my mind

I’m just gonna say it

Yeah! You did…

And finally you found out, the feeling is mutual

She also loved what she could not have

But why?

Its all procedural.

WANNABE INTERN

Week 2 Message to the Pre-Intern: don’t lose hope! Week 2, for me, was 2 months post-induction. This was when the wait began to sink in. You mean I’ve been home for two whole months? By now, I was literally chewing on my fingernails. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t scared of getting a space, but I certainly wasn’t confident about any place anymore. That is when I began to write this book. Today is the 12th of September and I sit at the dining table in my parents’ house, typing at 11:27pm (because well, I have an editing job to finish up, but mostly because I don’t have to go anywhere tomorrow morning). If I don’t want to, I don’t even have to take a bath tomorrow morning because well, I can stay indoors all day! (I most likely will stay indoors, except for those few minutes when I step out to buy hot akara for my akamu). I am spent. You know, I have applied to a couple of places now. Let me start with the first: LS Health Service Commission At the State Health servic...

NERVOUS TIME: CORRELATIONS BETWEEN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM AND TIME

Although the nervous system is a pretty tangible mass comprising nervous tissue mainly, and time is quite intangible; there are pretty astonishing facts that they seemingly buttress in spite of their clear differences. Taking a break from our series on hearing right, we observe the astounding similarities between the nervous system’s component, the brain and time. 1.       Both offer you a grand choice : You  can decide to either fritt away or invest your time, as much as you can choose to waste a large part of your brain while shying away as much as possible from doing anything remotely mentally-exerting. 2.         Memory: The common phrase “Time will tell” briefly encapsulates the fact that time really, does manage to bring up decisions, actons, words of the past to stare into our faces. The concept of memory (which time makes use of) isn’t any stranger. Memory storage occurs in the brain; and certainly, in the hea...

FRUSTRATED???

Sometimes in doubt...but never gonna give up! Sometimes life in and out of the world of medicine could be downright frustrating. What do you do in such situations? Simply watch life unfold or what? I don’t know. Really. I wish I could tell you: Be strong! But sometimes, motivational speeches should be shoved down the closet- deep down. Cos they won’t work. So I’d tell you: look to the Lord and his strength, seek him even in the midst of your pain and the storms around you, cos the sun will shine again. It will. Cos God promises it will.
