Once again, I am back on planet earth. Last night, I got a little cryptic - I just felt like I had a few things to tell my darling blog - and I'm sorry. I see daylight, so I think that means I might have crawled out of my own arse.
So, I finished my Ma. I am a master, the master, of the history of medicine. My thesis seems to have been received well thus far, but we will see how it fairs. The only important opinion really is that of the examiner.
I've learnt a lot this year, about myself - I'm scared of a lot of things but, when I put my mind to it, life can really be quite easy. There is so much in the psychological battle that we wage with our own minds on a daily basis. We slash and we stab and we cut at our own psyche. We put up walls that need not be there. We tell ourselves to fear things that are nothing more than particles, ether, circumstance. But how do we harness the power of our own minds?
How do we save that little part of us that says 'hey, junior, this is all bullshit'? Because, there really is no need to worry, is there? We can overcome any obstacle, can't we? Fears, and challenges - all they require is work, commitment, strength and positivity. How can I preserve this mindset?
In the coming weeks, I will return to this post. When my confidence is knocked, as inevitably it will be in my search for gainful employment, I will try to restore this frame of mind.
I can do it. I can, and I will.
Shit, it's getting dark! I think I've retreated back! Back! Back! Back up my own arse!
Just listen to the Boss and be done with it.
