Days where it seemed so hard to pull it out of you to be happy for others.
Days where you feel so suffocated with the never ending to-do list.
Days where you just feel like shutting yourself off from the world.
Days where memories flood you.
The people make the place. I had so much fun at my hospital placement that I thought I didn't mind working with adults. Then placements at EQ changed my mind cause I had so much fun with my CE, my partner and the kids. I actually looked forward every single day waking up at 6 just for work.
Today my alarm rang at 8, which is already later than usual, but I just didn't wanna get up. I still enjoyed every single conversation with my clients, I enjoyed my interactions with my CEs and partners but there's just something missing. I can't pinpoint what, but it's just different.
I had to pray to get through the day without losing my patience. That itself is abnormal, because I wouldn't say I'm particular short on patience.
But I gotta remember that everyone has their own shit going. Sometimes when you're so deep in your own shit, it's harder to see others struggling in theirs too. Well crass but totally applicable and apt. And your shit doesn't excuse you from your behaviour towards others. Be kind, be gracious, be patient above all.
And i guess it's hard, to pull yourself out to think of others. But if you can, maybe you'll pull through.
Mostly, don't reply when you're angry. Don't lash out when you're hurt. Don't hide when you're scared.
