A year ago would be August 2020 or let's just say the year COVID lockdown happened. Final exams of my dental degree were postponed. Part 2 of final year had just started online. I was at my home finally after spending the initial months with my relatives. My dog had started getting used to his new home. Was I at my best? No. I was getting myself through each day hoping for a future which looked very uncertain right now. I had already lost 2 years of my life before my career has even started. What did the future even hold right now? Did I ever thought about leaving everything and pursuing an easier alternative? Definitely. But did I ever leave? No.
Fast forward one year, I have given my last theoretical exam of my Bachelors degree. It went really well. Waiting for my practical exam and I know this time that I will ace them. The day won't be far when I can finally put Dr. before my name. Ah! finally!
What changed in this year?
Well, a lot has changed in the span of one year. I am at a better place mentally and physically. I look back and I cannot understand where all these years went by. I stood in my own shadows and let life crumble me over and over again. I have learnt in this year that no one is above my mental peace and if something is not agreeing with me, I shall ignore that thing or person from my life. My priority in life is Me, Myself and I. This might sound selfish but I have given myself to others for the last 25 years honestly. I did not gain anything. They moved on with their lives and left me rotting. All I lost was my self esteem and self confidence. Those days are long gone now. This is a new Me. And I shall not let anyone, not even my family, ever bring me down. I will not stay quiet and listen to your shit. I will speak and I will make sure others hear me. This last year has changed me a lot and has shown a lot about who actually belongs in my life. My life came to a standstill but I shall fly now and everyone will see me thrive and as my school's motto used to be "Soaring High Is My Nature", I will soar higher and higher.
