Thinking out loud : Med School editon

Here's a few things I've learnt from my first year in Med school:

❤ Life doesn't have to be perfect. Sometimes you're allowed to wrap yourself in a blanket (like a burrito) and watch *insert preferred sad movie* till you shed a tear. 😢

❤ Smiling even when you don't feel like it is a guaranteed way to make you happier😄

Feminists : The thing about females

There's this thing about females, that I'm not sure they see.

How they can bless you with a smile,

Or leave you with a frown. 

There's this thing about females, this power that they have.

They can build up whole cities,

Or tear them down.

See the thing about females, that I don't understand.

Is why sometimes they choose to be thorns in your side, 

Instead of jewels in your crown.

Why can't we lay bricks, and build up each other's castles? 

Instead of causing and building up walls of pain.

Why can't we speak to each other's faces in love?

Instead of driving each other insane.

Why can't we help establish each other's empires?

See there's more we have to gain.

We need to do better. Be better. Improve.

We need to be feminists.

And then, then the whole world will move.

The Perfect Sacrifice

*God’s Story*

The religious leaders are looking for a way to seize Jesus, so they can hardly believe it when Judas offers to betray Jesus and follows through.

Jesus is arrested and the disciples scatter. When Jesus is brought before the Jewish ruling council, the high priest asks him if he is the Messiah. Jesus answers plainly: “I am” (Mark 14:62). Even though it’s the truth, it’s blasphemy to the religious leaders. They declare Jesus as worthy of death.

Early in the morning, the religious council takes Jesus to Pilate, the Roman governor who has authority in capital cases. Because it’s Roman custom to release a Jewish prisoner at Passover, Pilate gives the people the opportunity to release Jesus. But they choose a convicted murderer instead, demanding Jesus’ death.
